just wanna ask if i got a good deal for a pc
fx 6300 4.5ghz
aftermarket cpu cooler (air cooler, not liquid)
corrsair cx430 watt psu
hyper x 16gb ddr3 1866mhz
600gb hard drive, 300gb hard drive and 120gb ssd
win 10
2 fans
total 160$
+bought an rx 580 4gb for 122$
total around 300$ for this specification
 
Solution
honestly, my firend is just givin me his old psu, i dunno the brand, said it is 500w

So my cpu bottlenecks my gpu, what about fx 8320?
i can oc it to 4,5 ghz like fx6300 and it has more threads and cores
Again, disregard the term "bottleneck".

Is an 8320 "better"? Yes, but only if it is free.

And you really really need to know what that 500 watt PSU is. There are many that I wouldn't use for a doorstop.

It is not a matter of "bottleneck".
Rather, it is "Will that PSU explode when I crank up the RX580?" (and 'explode' is not a euphemism)

Additionally, your CPU is ancient, and poor when it was new.
im playin like battlefield and games and gpu doesnt exceed 100w so i think it wont for now, but tomorrow im switchin to 500w psu
and for the cpu, whats the solution other than to sell it? it has to be something?

What specific PSU are you changing to?

That CPU? It is what it is. You can't change it. There is no "solution".
