Will an AMD FX-4300 quad-core bottleneck an EVGA SC 1060 6gb?

[samhemmen]

Hi, thanks for checking out my problem. I am wondering if an AMD FX-4300 CPU will bottleneck the EVGA Superclocked 1060 6gb GPU I just ordered. I am planning on replacing the motherboard and getting and i7-7700k CPU in there, but until then when they are finally shipped, I want to be able to run games well. Also, I would like to know, if there is a bottleneck, whether or not the bottleneck will damage some of my parts or overheat. Thanks, and all help is appreciated!

System Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-4300 Quad Core

GPU: AMD r7 240 (getting replaced by the EVGA SC 1060 6gb)

RAM: DDR3 8gb (2 slots 4gb each)

STORAGE: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 Micro ATX AM3+

PSU: 350w (idk brand)

MONITOR: Dell SE2717H 1920x1080 27”

Their will be a bottleneck in most games. Your also going to need a new power supply.
A bottleneck will not damage parts.

nope it wont. and yes you do need another power supply.

Just encase you haven't realised the 7700k will need DDR4 RAM. I'd also pick the 8600k over the 7700k.

Thanks, how big of a power supply would you recommend?

for a 1060 you want minimum a GOOD 450w or better psu with the proper pcie cables if not overclocking

a 550w unit to keep for a long time and for overhead to overclock


also +1

dont get a 7700k right now, if you are buying new get a i5 8600k or i5 8400 with the proper motherboard and DDR4 ram
