AMD FX 4300 with a GTX 950?

[RyanWhitefreeze]

Currently I have a AMD 4300 CPU with a GTX 750. I'm looking to get better performance in games, and hopefully run GTA V at a playable fps. I'd like to upgrade my PC, and am looking at a GTX 950 for my graphics card. Would my 4300 bottleneck the 950? Should I also upgrade my CPU? I have an amd motherboard so I would need to keep up with the AMD CPUs. If you have any other suggestions for a CPU/GPU combo that advice would be gladly taken. Thanks!

No bottleneck. You can run it high. If you want better performance get R9 380 for slightly more, you can run ultra on this card

yes, for gta5 you really do need an i5


a 8350 would be adequate to run the gtx 950 high settings if overcloked. You still would be cpu limited.

The settings that benchmark used are really stressing even for i5. If you dont really high the setting like above (ultra) you can get more than 30 fps which means playable for most people. But if you aren't like the most people snd need constant 60 fps you need high i5
