Better gaming combo?

Amd fx 6300 with gtx 1070 vs Amd fx 8350 with gtx 950

6300 with 1070 , this is a no brainer. however you wont benefit from it fully since any amd cpu will hold the power of a 1070 back.

both are going to give you nothing but regret


the 6300 is too weak for a 1070


and the 950 while good, is a lower end gpu power wise

It's not a good idea to buy amd cpu's for gaming



Really need an i5 for a 1070

I am worried about bottlenecking its performance. Is that a serious concern? Im looking to get better framerates for gaming.
