Seeking options around £10k that won’t slow a 1070 unless the 10400 is already limiting. The 10400 serves as a starting point, but we’re aiming for i5 compatibility—if an i3 works fine with the 1070, I’m considering it too. Please suggest only Intel parts.
Intel's offerings are the best here. A 12100F matches the performance of a 10400 and stays below 100. If you're open to AMD, you'd find better options like the 5500 or 3600, which excel in multi-threaded tasks.
Just what I was given to work with, either i5 or i7. Think I've decided that custom built is going to be a bit too expensive though. Kind of locked into certain higher end parts with a 1070 so I'll look into some prebuilt's and suggest those. But the 12100 is a great choice thanks for suggesting it.
