Will It Bottleneck

[thatguy213]

So its coming down to the time where im going to build the PC. now of course since its first pic i got alot of questions but basically i got it most down..
Currently this is what i planned on Building. - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/chris123/saved/2Irs
Now lets get to this I want to make that build a bit cheaper. But i want to be able to run BF4 atleast on high still...
So i was thinking Swap the i5 for an fx 8350? but will that bottleneck with the 760. so should i go with i5 still and get like a 650 ti boost and SLI it come January when i got spare $$?
I did plan on SLIing the 760 then too so im assumming an FX8350 for sure wont be able to handle an SLI'd 760 would it?
sorry for the ranting aha

My 8350 only bottlenecks my 290x on older games, which really doesn't make a difference since my FPS is so high anyways.

You will be fine with either CPU, even in SLI.

Oo nice to know can save myself some money haha thank you. How much fps u getting with that 290x?

Ideally... an i7. But if u need to cut costs a bit, get an i5. I wouldn't step down to an AMD CPU. The 8350 is a known bottleneck in crossfire/SLI. Tom's tested it vs. an i7, with two 7970's.

Around 90-100fps.

...no way getting i7 far out of budget lol. And that actually wasnt to bud for a bottleneck considering 8350 is half the price of an i7, i just wont crossfire ill save the money and upgrade CPU eventually to i7 or next best CPU. As long as an 8350 isnt bottlenecking 1 760 im sure i will enjoy games with extremly playable fps

woah what games on what settings? aha thats more then what im looking for, and 290x is fairly bit better then 760 so i should be satisfied

90-100 was on BF4 with Ultra settings with 2xAA in SP
Bioshock Infinite stays around 100+ with 8xAA

I would get the Vanilla 290 though, it is barely slower for $150 less.

on muiltiplayer damn nice. and crap i just realized i was looking at 8350 thinking was 158$ (8320 is its above it on pcpartpicker) so id be going for the 8320....how would that be on bottlenecking issues...?

The 8320 is just a lower binned 8350, same chip. You can OC it and get 8350 performance easily with a good cooler.

nice alrighty thanks for the info man

 

[iceclock]

id recommand the i5 3570k def, since it overclocks well and at stocks beats amd overclocked theres no competition there. i5 wins for gaming def.

 

[Novuake]

First off why are you going for Ivy instead of newer haswel?

Second you need 2 x 4GB to take advantage of the performance that you get from dual channel.
That chassis will not cool well.
You need to invest more if you want quality.
If you plan on overclocking you will also need better motherboard.

So here is my suggestion :

thats a decent system but haswell heats more than sandybridge and ivybridge cpus.

u get a small performance increase yes with haswell but the thermal increase isnt worth the small performance gain.

The Z87 Haswel platform has its advantages too. More PCI-e lane availability, more SATA 3 and USB3 connectivity.

And heat really is not that bad.

 

[iceclock]

i think it comes to opinion but when it comes to overclocking, the haswell add more heat thats a fact not an opinion.

i think it all depends of your needs.

Can not argue with that.

i did have 2x4 dual ram must of not saved before i sent link, i also do not plan on overclocking really tbh. Also appreciate your help but im aiming for the cheaper side yanno should i give less cpu for more gpu or more cpu for less gpu

 

[iceclock]

u want a balance between both so theres no bottleneck. whats ur maximum budget?
