I have built my first budget gaming rig and i was wondering if anything was being bottlenected by something.

Specs:

Cpu-amd phenom ii x6 1045t

Ram-8gig vengance 1600

Gpu xfx radeon 7850 2gb

Psu 500watt thermaltake

Mobo- some gigabyte motherboard

Im only really worried about any bottleneck between the cpu and gpu

Thanks,

there might be a very small bottle neck.

what speed is your cpu? did you do any overclocking on it? it might help reduce the bottleneck.

but i doubt you will notice if there is a bottleneck.

If I remember your cpu is clocked at 2.7ghz

 

If im correct then you may experience a bottleneck in some games that are not heavily multithreaded.

If i was in your position i would want to overclock a little.

Your ram might affect your performance because in AMD systems having faster ram gives you better performance. I don't think the GPU and CPU will bottleneck.
