Hello people of the forum.

 

Christmas is around the corner, and I was thinking about asking for a GTX 1060. But, I was wondering how bad my FX 8350 would bottleneck it compared to an evga 970 ftw.

Thanks!

GTX 1060 6GB is as powerful as a GTX 980. The bottleneck will be present, but it will not be that severe. Don't get a GTX 970 for fear of bottlenecking, even with the bottleneck, the 1060 will still be faster.

Is there a specific 1060 card that has the best price/performance?

Just buy your GPU, if it's not fast enough buy X99 or Z170 platform and go from there.

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 GameRock . XEON X5650 4.49ghz

 I wish, but I just don't have enough money to go to even Z97.:S

With a single rad, don't overclock. But, if you get a better watercooler, then overclocking can dramatically increase your FPS!

OC will help, always does if its a good stable OC. ANy watercooling should provide better cooling than air but it doesnt mean u can push the CPU way too high, there are still limits.
