RX 480 Bottlenecking Question

I currently have one RX480 in my PC with an AMD FX 8350. I recently bid on another card (same exact one) to be able to crossfire. 

After some research, I found that crossfiring on FX is a joke. So my question is

WILL A RYZEN 3 1300X BOTTLENECK MY TWO 480s?

 

Thanks.

Yes, it would bottleneck, but SLI isn't a good option at the moment.

Yes, if you want no bottlenecks get a Ryzen 5 1600. (Unless you want are using a 144+Hz display)

Then you may want to get an i7 7700K, it's the best CPU for high refresh rate gaming. ;)

It probably would. If anything you'd be better off selling you're 480 and buying a 1080 or something.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Then can you throw me together a MOBO/RAM/CPU Combo under $750?

I've got a Ryzen 5 1500X w/ 2 480s.  (moved one over when I got my 1080 Ti for my main PC)  Together, 3DMark Time Spy scored just high enough that it fit in the 4K Gaming PC category.  The Ryzen 3 definitely wouldn't get rated that high, and I suspect it would indeed be a bottleneck.

 

As @PCGuy_5960 wrote, that i7-7700K build would give you fantastic gaming performance.  If you don't already have one, I'd recommend an M.2 NVMe boot drive though.
