Nah, that i7 should work just fine. I upgraded from my i5 4670k to an i7 4770k and it made very little difference fps wise, but the extra cores are a noticeable improvement when it comes to populated areas like PO and Area18. Less hitching, more stable. 16gigs or ram and a 1060 6gig, sata ssd, not a fancy setup, yet I get 40-70 fps in flight around stuff and 25-30+ in the cities. Remember when games were capped at 30fps for that "cinematic" experience and outward of a few loudmouths no one gave a shit and just played it at 30? So yeah, not the best, but perfectly playable. you should be fine for a while yet.
