Will AMD FX 8310 bottleneck Gtx 970?

Title says it all. I just found out about this processor today while looking through passmark high end cpu chart. Sells for $124.99 only OEM version and tigerdirect, seems to be the only seller atm.

You mean the FX8320? No its a decent CPU and it wont bottleneck the GTX970

same answer allthough the 8310 has a lower TDP and lower clockspeeds, its newer and has the same architecture and number of cores(8). you will be better off getting the 8320/8350 though, those have higher clockspeed and will overclock better.
