Will FX6300 bottleneck my GPU ?

[Justn]

Hi there, I have a AMD FX 6300 running with 8GB of Ram and MSI 990FXA-GD65 and I'm planning to upgrade from HD 7770 to GTX 770 but will my CPU Bottleneck my GTX770 ?

If yes then how much ?

Not at all no. You will be perfectly safe

Um yes and no. In extremely cpu intensive games like RTS games and MMO's you will bottleneck but in highly threaded apps that can atually utilize 6 threads no.

i wouldnt worry. have a nice aftermarket cooler and you can easily oc over 4ghz with that mobo!isnt necessary but it will give quite a boost in performance. for such setup though make sure your psu is up to the task. a quality 600 - 650w psu would be perfect!

I've heard the bottleneck point for a 6300 would be a 270X (not a trusty source) I don't think it will bottleneck, on newer games at least (and for older games you won't use your whole GPU anyways) and when it does it will be minimal, it's a very good CPU (price/performance)
