Will AMD FX-8300 bottleneck GTX 1080?

Look at the bottom for no story
During all of this cryptomining, I have been trying to sell my GTX 950, and I held the guy off until I saw the GTX 1070 Founders Edition on Nvidia's website was back in stock, I sold it, went to go order it the next day and it was out of stock again. So after looking, I found a GTX 1080 (Not telling where) for $474.99, currently less than the 1070. Sorry for the explanation, just curious.

That's a deal, buy it! (If a trusted seller/business, of course; I trust no individual sellers on e-bay, etc., frankly)

But, yes, an FX will bottleneck almost any GPU, but, you can play at 4k/high settings and minimize that bottleneck...

FX will bottleneck it, coz it's currently too old to handle the power of that card, but u will be less affected as u go up in the settings since the burden will be put on GPU instead.

It will bottleneck but it shouldn't be too bad. But definitely get that gpu, it's an insanely good deal
