EVGA GeForce GTX 950 With the AMD Athlon X4 860k. Will it bottleneck?

[abdullahnauman1]

Hey so originally i was going to buy a EVGA GeForce GTX 750 ti (180$ CAD) for my budget gaming build and pair it with the AMD Athlon X4 860k (100$ CAD). I was already at the peak of my budget. Now I was randomly looking at other GPU's and my eyes landed on the EVGA GeForce GTX 950 which was only around 50$ more than my first choice. I decided to pick that card because it would obviously out perform the 750 ti, right? This is my first gaming pc so im a bit nervous. Now being a better card, will its performance be bottlenecked by the CPU that i have chosen? Note: I am already 60$ over my budget, recommending me to purchase a higher end cpu may not be my preferred option. Will it perform better than the GTX 750 with the same CPU?
Thanks alot guys.

No it won't. You can take GTX950 with no worries.

Grab the GTX 950 if you can, and I wouldn't worry about it bottle necking, unless you specifically playing very CPU intensive games.

What would be an example of a "CPU intensive" game?

What would be an example of a "CPU intensive" game?

Not sure if you still need an answer but a good example(s);

- Minecraft Modded (Not kidding either)
- DayZ
- Any NPC relient games (Most zombie games, survivals.) (Only time not to factor this in is if the game is brought by AAA developers)
- CSGO

But in all those games listed with a 950 you'll be able to run with an Athlon I have a 760k and the only game I cant run 60 fps constant on in that list is DayZ and I have a 750ti upgrading to a 960 soon
