Is the 8600k that weak? I got one myself and just upgraded to 3060ti from 1080. It helped, but do you think my cpu botleneck the 3060ti?

No. 8600K enjoyer here with a 3070Ti. Its fine. I can hit 144 in PoE. Obviously the newer, or in general, cpu intensive games will have you bottlenecked, but my 8600K is actually doing so well I cannot financially justify an upgrade

To elaborate, my personal demands are that I want AT LEAST 60 fps SOMEWHAT STABLE on 2560x1440. (I have a 2k 144Hz Monitor) 

So far, there are few games where I have to turn down graphics to achieve this. In fact, the most I ever turn down, on average, is volumetric fog, and maybe some other resource intensive stuff like render distance. So far, altho my CPU gets bottlenecked alot, I have not found a convincing reason to spend money on an upgrade. The 8600K is an absolute beast and I simply have no game right now where I Think "Damn I rly need an upgrade"
