Those are my specs, but my real question is will the 760 bottleneck so much I won't be able to play league of legends at max, or starcraft 2 at medium, black ops 2 at medium, and dead space 3 at max. I really need to know since I'm not so tech smart it would be awesome to know if I would now some of these games becnhmarks on other cpus aswell to see what I can get for my birthday. Thanks a lot whoever helps me out!

i had a i5 650 its an old i5 duel core and a msi gtx 760 i cud run bo2 on maxed out setting i love my 760 money well spent lol will run easy on a 760 all day long i now have a 3570k 4.5GHz i5 bo2 max setting cod ghost most high setting dota 2 maxed lol maxed minecraft maxed 760 is 1 of the best bang for buck cars on the market IMO

so the point is the cpu will bottleneck the card but is not that bad i dont think its a good card

IMO APU's in genaral are bad for gaming get a real quad core
 



Really the APU isn't bad at all for gaming I play Bo2 on low at 1600x900 with a good 40-60 fps, and league of legends while streaming at a good 50-100 fps, and already dead space 3 on all max, but the 760 like you said will bottleneck but it will still be great compared to my crappy on board graphics. But really this comp was 600$ for what it has with out gpu or water cooler or power supply and now im adding the water cooler 760 and power supply. luckily its christmas, but what is a real quad core I want a amd processor I just like them better. TY
 


You cant get any fx series cpus unless you get a new motherboard. The "a" series apus use socket fm2 motherboards while the fx series uses socket am3 and am3+ motherboards. The best cpu you can get without getting a new motherboard is any A10 apu from amd such as the one I posted earlier.

So any of the cpus you posted will work on my motherboard? Such as amd apu richland a10-6800k
