DSwinney

Okay so before I buy the 780ti I would like to know if it would bottleneck, please don't spam buy Intel just give me your honest opinion on if it would bottleneck or not. 

Thanks guys.

In my opinion, I don't think it will bottleneck. I think you should be fine.

 it will, but it's negligible. If you can spare the money, sure get the 4670K, but if the reason you can buy the 780ti is because you are going AMD, then go for it.

Nah mate you'll be fine, you'd only start running into troubles if you had 3 or more cards I'd say.

Yes the 8320 will bottleneck the 780ti on stock clocks. Oc it to 4.5 ish ghz and then it will be fine.

in W7, games like bf4 is bottlenecked by my CPU, i OCed it and it seems gone but the frames is still not what i expect from benchmark.
then suprisingly, i installed the 337.50 drivers which greatly reduces CPU usage and *boom* bottleneck gone (props too nvidia :P)

so i say, NO, it wont bottleneck.

When 2 things meet each other, Quantum stuff happens.

he does not need to oc it, stock clock would be fine.

Ty guys for the quick replies , yeah ino the idle option would be to get the 4670k but i already have the 8320 and I think overall performance would be increased by getting a new gpu instead of a new cpu and mb combo. When Intel decides to release their refresh of cpu's i might pick one up then but for now i'll be sticking with the 8320.

No it would not bottleneck at all, but if you are using a single 1080p monitor, then in my honest opinion, the 780Ti is overkill and not needed.

Why would you overclock his pc? Also a stock 8320 does not bottleneck an r9 270.

The FX-8350 bottlenecks a GTX 780 in modded Skyrim and other similarly single threaded games, and the bottleneck is actually pretty bad.

 

Honestly, I'd go with the 4670k and a GTX 780. Up to you, since of the games I've played, I've only had a terrible bottleneck in Skyrim. The rest are negligible.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
