will an FX 6300 support multiple GTX770s

[Notoriousboob]

hi i previously made a post asking if my fx 6300 would support 1 gtx 770 without bottlenecking and it does not bottleneck 1 bit now however i want some more power and plan on running 2 way or maybe even 3 way SLI with gtx 770s. i dont know much about overclocking CPUs so i dont plan on doing that yet till i at least get some better cooling.

i think im going to switch to the 8350 when i get my new motherboard.

and when you do the 770 wont bottleneck a bit

Nah, the 8350 will still bottleneck heavily in most MP games. I had one and it couldn't get my pair of 270x's consistently above 60% usage in BF4 MP. The 8350 is the same architecture as the 6300, just two more cores and higher clock speed.

It all depends on what you want from your system. My 8350 at 4.4 bottle-necked every game I play. That being said, I only play only multi-player games that use a lot of physics or are not optimized for multi-core platforms (think SC2 or WoT, War Thunder). Even BF4 plays better on my Intel quad.

In my opinion, I would get a 3570k and not think twice about it. That's what I did and couldn't be happier. Micro- Center had the 3570k and the Haswell equivalent on sale for $180, which is a steal. Don't know if this is still the case but it's worth checking out, imo.

now that i think about it why not switch to an intel motherboard if im going to switch out my CPU in the end thanks for the idea. whats a good motherboard for intel though this is becoming a bigger project then i anticipated i should have gone with intel when i bought my pc lol. just hope i get this new job soon so i can afford it any suggestions on motherboards? im not looking to spend over 200 on a new motherboard.
on top of that i dont know jack about intel CPUs i know AMD has APUs what is the name of the intel version of the APU? i dont wanna accidently buy the wrong thing lol i just want a CPU that will handle 2 or more 770s.

Don't sweat the change from AMD to Intel. I was a lifelong AMD user going back to the Athlon XP single core. Overclocking was a cinch with 3570k - just up the multiplier and watch your temps. I didn't even tweak the voltage because the per core performance I was getting was 30-50% faster than my 8350 could pull at its highest, stable overclock.

I bought a solid ASRock mobo for $100 from Newegg. I'm running my 3570k at 4.2 with a Hyper 212+ Evo. Paired with my 270x's in Crossfire it destroys anything I throw at it.

the 3570k is benchmarked quite a bit lower then the 8350 though its even lower then the 6350. what do you think about the i7 4820k? looks like im sinking some money into this project lol i want this pc to be a beast in the end though.

What is it benchmarking lower than in the 8350 in? If you're looking at the Passmark score or rendering benchmarks, then yes it will benchmark lower. Keep in mind that such benchmarks are geared to take maximum advantage of the multi-core architecture of the 8350. They are not representative of current gaming perforamance, in which I assure you the i5 trounces any FX. For example, compare the Passmark single-threaded performance of the FX to the i5 to get a better idea of which is best for gaming.

Better yet, look at this benchmark for Far-Cry, which is a game that's no longer GPU bound and has a good mix of single-threaded and multi-threaded mixed code. Look at how far out in front the Intel chips are.

Find gaming benchmarks if you will be gaming. Look at Tom's gaming hierarchy for 2014 and you'll see that the IB and Haswell i5's are a notch above the best AMD chip available. I'm telling you, I've done the research and seen the difference first hand. The i5 is the superior gaming chip, especially if you want to maximize the potential of two higher end cards like the 770's you're discussing.

Also, the price premium of the i7 over the i5 isn't justified given that most games make minimal if any use of the Hyper-threading. We're talking less than 5% difference at the same clock speed in the majority of cases.
