AMD FX 8350 with a GTX 780

[a10killer]

HI
Im currently in the process of building a computer for gaming as well as other general uses. I plan on bying an amd fx 8350 with a gtx 780 graphics card. Ive researhed this and have seen many threads arguing that the 8350 cannot keep up with the 780, and a few threads stating that the future is with the 8350. I hope this thread can help me sort out whether to stay with the 8350 or go for an intel cpu.

Thanks

Shouldn't really be any bottleneck with that combo.

In most newer games that are great optimized(like BF4) You shouldn't have any worries only on bad optimized games like call of duty ghosts that only support up to 2 cores you could indeed have some bottleneck but it won't be huge. It's a great setup you've chosen and the 780 is a great card.

Don't forget to pick a solutio( this closes down the thread.)

question: would this same combo bottleneck if the video card was in a 2.0 slot and not a 3.0 slot? im considering upgrading from my phenom II x4 955 to either an i7 3770k or an 8350. id save cash with the 8350 but i want the most bang for the buck if possible.

XennoTech. i7 3770K is the better processor. But if you really have to save money, go for the 8350, you will NOT be disappointed
