1080p60 cheap pc build

[Shirai]

1) My PC build can run FFXIV at 1080p and 60fps:
- Almost everywhere
Sidenote, I run the game at a 2560*1080 most of the time at 70~75 FPS with a secondary screen beside it.

2) Other settings (visual effects, drivers...):
- Adjustments made that helped, if any noticed;
- Adjustments that won't help that much, if any noticed.
3) (if you have access to your CPU/GPU/RAM charges):
- CPU charge;
- GPU charge;
- RAM used.
4) If the PC build can run at 1080p60 almost everywhere:
- When/where does the framerate fall?
A fully crowded Idylshire and 24 man raid boss fights dip my FPS.
- How low does the framerate fall to?
Never below 45.
- if you have access to your CPU/GPU/RAM charges, what is bottlenecking your system?
5) The PC build is:
- CPU; Intel i7 2600k (An oldy, but it still does what I need it to do.)
- GPU; Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
- RAM; 16GB

6) any comment you see fit!
My system could probably perform a lot better considering its specs, I'm going to have to test this once I've installed my new hard drives and have given my PC a completely fresh installation, which I haven't done since 2012(?)

Mmh it seems that to get 60fps in Idylshire, without limiting anything, a PC build should run at 95-100fps elsewhere! Can players confirm this?

Also, players who reported their builds have 8-core/thread CPUs. Is this important? Can 4-core/thread CPUs run at 60fps in Idyllshire?

Please! Look at those topics!
