bottleneck

[rezone]

Hello everyone.I am new here

Started to upgrading my PC 

Current setup 

 

Core i5 650 (running at  3.6ghz > 3.9ghz turbo)

MSI h55m p31 

8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 4gb x 2 

MSI GTX 660 Gaming

Corsair CX600m 

WD BLUE 1TB 

 

 

Think of upgrading to Samsung SSD  120gb

+ CPU + motherboard .

 

What will be the best choice for me to go with CPU to feel the difference in games.

 

Thinking about AMD 8320. Is it okay to run it with GTX 660  or it will bottleneck ? 

 

PC is only for gaming. 

 

 

 

Prices in my country for CPU. ( converted from EUR) 

 

FX 6300 : 137usd

 

FX   6350     : 160usd

 

FX8320  : 185usd 

 

Core i5 4440 : 220usd

 

Core i5 3470 : 225usd

 

Core i5 3570K : 275usd

You can run any GPU on the market on a 8320. You don't even have to OC on a 660.

Here, whats your budget first of all?

 

 

If your CPU is running at 3.9 it shouldn't be bottlenecked or need to be upgraded, grab a 760 or a 770 instead.

Welcome to the forums!

 

Also always post what you intend to do with it, location and budget, so we can optimize the best possible way.

Youre going to have a hard time bottlenecking a 8320. Amd doesnt mean bottleneck^^

And, if this is the 2nd oost with the same text, im sorry. My tablet is fucking up quite a few things.

The idea is that the oldest part in my PC is My CPU and its only 2 core. 

 

So i want the CPU which will Max out my GPU . 

 

I think CPU is the bottleneck for the GTX 660 or am i wrong  ? 

 

Thank for respond .

 

PS .  i am from Latvija ( East Europe) 

 

Budget is about 200usd max for CPU 

 

 

In that range can not afford new i5. 

 

Will i gain any FPS if i upgrade to AMD 6300 / 8320 

 

Or i can just upgrade to i5 760   4core 4hread 

 

and  keep my MB so if will save me money

 

it only cost about 90$ ....

Hi, I'm not sure your current processor actually bottleneck your system, but keep in mind that upgrading cpu means change socket(most of the times) and going for an AMD definitively means having to change socket, so you have to add a new mother board on top of the processor's price, give a look on your current cpu load while you play a demanding game, if your cpu runs at 100% and your gpu doesn't get too high you definitely need a new cpu

if you have "4 real cores" you will be fine friend (not sure how much cores you really have, let me check)

 

your i5 650 is just a i5 of name, and is not at all a true i5 (sorry friend, intel got you), is a dual core

 

and the answer is... yes, that cpu is a bottleneck

 

 

 

buy that FX 6350 i will say (or the FX 8320)

Not all i5's have 4 physical cores. It is a true i5 with 2 cores and HT.
