Bottlenecking cpu question

[SidTheSloth]

Someone told me that this build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SidTheSloth/saved/38QI will bottleneck because my gpu isnt powerful enough, so I made this one http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SidTheSloth/saved/38qn which one is better and which one will be better for my wallet. Also which one would I need to upgrade more

 

[MrProper]

who ever said it will bt dont take any advice from him. NO bt here second build has better gpu so it will have better performance in games

 

[SidTheSloth]

Well which one do you recommend for peformance overall, I want to play games like bf4 and other modern games (titan fall) at, at least high settings

 

[MrProper]

in gaming there is no reason to go with weaker gpu. Cpu isnt that important in gaming and those 2 cpus have little to no difference in gaming. The build with 280x will give you way superior experience even in ultra so its nobrainer

 

[SidTheSloth]

But isnt intel better for an overall good expereince?

Intel is better yes, for gaming and single-threaded (common) apps. However, the real difference between those two builds are the GPUs - the 280x is far superior to the 270x, so that would be the build I would personally go with. The FX would be good enough for gaming, and better than the intel at multi-threaded apps (video editing, rendering etc.).

 

[SidTheSloth]

Well I probably wont use multi threaded apps that often, but I am leaning more towards the gpu side, and in 3-4 years I will upgrade to an intel cpu anyway (is this better http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SidTheSloth/saved/38qn ?)

that person is stupid, the build you configured is good.

 

[SidTheSloth]

Which one the intel or amd?

Both are great, if you're deciding between the two, I'd get the fx 8320 + r9 280x buiold

 

[SidTheSloth]

Okay thanks, I guess I will go with that one, but how often do you think I should upgrade it?

It's already a good PC, the only upgrades I can think of is either
1-Crossfire 280x
2-Overclocking the 8320

My recommended upgrade cycle would be around every two generations. E.G. from a gtx 580 to a gtx 770/780
