What To Expect?

Looking at getting an i7-6700 3.6ghz (4 turbo) and pairing it with a GTX 960. Do any of you mechwarriors out there have this combination? If so what can I expect? I only really play MWO and a handful of other games that aren't nearly as CPU dependent.

I know the K is unlocked, also considering that. But I'm wondering how much of performance gain is to be found here, seeing that MWO eats CPU's. Is the 3.6ghz enough or do people find themselves OC'n more to get higher FPS on max settings in MWO?

I am currently running i5-3570k 3.4ghz OC to 4.5ghz, 16gigs ram. The CPU sweet spot started at 4.2ghz for me. GPU is a AMD HD 7950. base 850Mhz gpu OC 925Mhz/ 1250Mhz memory w/3gigs GDDR5 memory.
Without FPS cap low approx 55fps to a max 140fps, running med game settings w/cap 75fps. Had antialiasing off but turned on MSAA for some runs. The high/low yo-yo effect is noticeable for me, which gives me a headache
Others will eventually chime in but the ability to get more out of the CPU to make the game play smoother is worth it. Not OC lows hit 40fps to a high of 100fps with averages of around 50-55fps.
As for the Nvidia card, is your current system a laptop then since it is using a GTX 860m?

What's Your Budget?

Mainly interested what kind of CPU's people are using here, and if 3.4ghz is enough for MWO (as I've seen a lot of people over 4ghz for MWO), and how much over clocking they've done on it. Hoping not to spend over 1k,

NV 1070GTX
FPS : from 45-120 (yeah, it dips that much, even with a CPU clock beyond 4GHz ... )
