Hi guys,

I'm planning to build budget pc for gaming and thinking to buy amd x3 450 and gtx 460 1gb and also other components. Will this cpu bottleneck this vga? I'm going on serious budget and i think to buy better vga instead of cpu, because year later i'm planning to buy bulldozer. My budget is 500-550 american dollars, but I live in Lithuania and here prices are little big and there aren't any special offers
Sorry for my crappy English
P.S. I can write a part list with prices converted to usd
 
That CPU and GPU combo is just fine. With that CPU you would only hit a bottleneck with either a very, very high end single GPU, or a dual GPU setup. The AMD triple core and GTX 460 will perform just fine together.

Supernova is correct, they should work just fine together. I have a x3 445 and an AMD 6850 which is nearly identical in performance to the 460. They are perfectly balanced at 1920x1080 resolution in almost every game.
