Are There Any Bottlenecks?

[OldHickory]

I plan on building my very own gaming PC and I was wondering if there were any HUGE bottlenecks.

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 750K
GPU: MSI R7 260 OC 1GB
H.D.D: Crucial Memory SSD 240GB M500
Ram: 8Gb HyperX Blu (2X4GB) 1600MHz DDR3

Thanks.

Short and sweet answer:

No, the build looks good. Might want to look into a 260X or the 2 GB 260X if you plan on playing things like Skyrim with higher resolution texture packs and things like that.

I would skip the SSD for now and get a better CPU/GPU. The 750k with a 260 is just fine for single player gaming, but if you're looking to play multiplayer games, the 750k is going to show its weakness.

Something like the FX-4300 is only about $15 more, but is vastly superior for gaming than the 750k.

The 750K is fine --- you can run any video card you wish with it.

Is that SSD mSATA ??

What HiTechObsessed said is true. If you don't need the SSD now, grab the parts below instead. About the same price as well.

Yes, the 750k will not physically bottleneck the 260x at all, but frame dips will be much more pronounced and common during CPU-heavy situations like 64-player BF4. I just wanted that to be out there so he knew that.

And no, that's a regular 2.5" drive.
