GPU bottlenecks CPU?

[peteralbright]

I am in the process of building a PC for editing and not too intensive gaming and here is my partpicker. Will this GPU bottleneck this CPU. Any recommendations of things that are not ideal for editing?

A GPU cannot bottleneck a CPU.

no it will not bottleneck the cpu. Its a perfectly fine build.

Just because no one talks about it, or cares, GPU's bottleneck the CPU the majority of the time in gaming. If your GPU is used 100%, and the CPU is not, you have a bottleneck. It is just that no one cares about that. People only care if the CPU is holding back the GPU. Most people, that is.

Well I mean I thought it your CPU can bottleneck your GPU the opposite would also be true. I think the i7 is a really nice processor while the r9 380 isnt a top tier GPU

This pair will be fine for what you want. The i7 is going to breeze through editing and the 380 will play 1080p games at med-high settings.
