bottleneck question, pls help

[samrockp3]

will an amd a8 7600 bottleneck an r9 270x? If so, what other proccesors can i get. NOTE: i want an apu so i can game without a graphics card for a few months till i can save up and get one. Thanks

I would honestly say no! the graphics by the looks of it in that APU are also very good so gaming should be okay for the few months also, when in games often it is more gpu intensive so it is hard to be bottlenecked but you would notice a differnece between using that and an intel i5 for example however this should be minimal unless anyone else knows better, I have not used the Fm2+ series and would really like to try them out, but you will notice the difference with an intel processor however if you want to game now which I completely understand now, I currently have a graphics card sitting on my table and I keep starring at it but I am waiting for my PSU to come so that is very frustrating especially if it was a couple of months so unless anyone else has any suggestions i would go for it, do you have a budget? and I will look into it for you?

You'll probably be at the margin for CPU bottleneck with the APU and the 270X. I had a few FM2/2+ machines (A10-5800K, 860K) and the best of them was at its max with my R9-280. So the 270X should be about the same situation with the slower A8-7600. If budget allows, you would probably be better with the high end (faster clocked) APUs.
