Bottleneck?

Go to solution Solved by SSJGodemis,

A bottleneck is not a hard and fast thing in most scenarios. For example I have a buddy using a Ryzen 1600 and 2080 Ti. Some games he gets a large bottleneck and in others you cant tell the difference because the FPS are so high already. 

 

In this case though, an A4-6300 is old and a pretty low end CPU. An RX 560 would not be a terrible pairing for it though.  

You're looking at a really low end CPU and a low end graphics card, I wouldn't concern yourself with bottlenecks at all.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

I genuinely believe an A4-6300 will bottleneck a RX 560... the other way around to OP's fears.

 

We're talking about a 32nm AMD processor with 2c/2t...

I think OP might be saying it backwards. Still, even if a cheap old CPU bottlenecks a cheap GPU, it wouldn't really be a big issue.
