Will it "Bottleneck" my pc

[xkingalexx]

I have been looking for a lot of pc parts for my upcoming pc build but was worried about any incompatibilities or "bottlenecks, Here are my specs:

Motherboard = Gigabyte 970A-DS3P AMD 970 Motherboard

CPU = AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 6MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 95W, Retail Boxed)

RAM = Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600​C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz

GPU = Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card with Boost

PSU = EVGA Supernova 750W PSU - Bronze

HDD = WD 1 TB 3.5-inch Desktop Hard Drive Blue

I know its irrelevant but Case = Cooler Master K-Series K380 USB3.0 Side Window Case for ATX PC

 

Thanks for any help, its much appreciated

You'll be fine you should get a lower watt power supply

[Rorgash]

go for a i5 instead, just plain better for anything but strange programs that use more than 2 cores

 

also yea a 500W would be enough, a 650W would be way more than you need

He's mainly going to be gaming, it's a waste of money.

i5 4690k and a 650W PSU

an i5 will perform much better in gaming than any AMD CPU

Not true, in games like Battlefield 4 there is not a significant difference between fx 6300 vs 3770k, only games that benefit are crysis 3 and metro last light.

Please...

 

Grab the 8320 @xkingalexx

[Sauron]

It will be fine, just the psu is overkill

[Le Lion de Barreras]

You're fine as you are. Like other said get a lower PSU wattage unless you plan to Crossfire or SLI in the future.

[xkingalexx]

you should get a lower watt power supply

gonna get another gpu in the future

[xkingalexx]

in games like Battlefield 4

perfect bf4 is gonna be my main game also farcry3

[Rorgash]

so he should go for a i5.. and considering they cost as much and its WAY better than a 6 core amd... which is totally useless and slower... so what do you mean its a waste of money? his or my suggestion?

[xkingalexx]

Please...

 

Grab the 8320

almost all games now only need a dual core at min and quadcore at max, so six cores is gonna be great for now!

Actually, I'm going to get into this because I'm really unhappy with the performance I've gotten with my FX 6300 in Battlefield 4. My frames would sometimes dip down to the 40s sometimes even 38 or so and that's pretty noticeable, I hated playing BF4. Thankfully AMD's Mantle came to save the day, now I rarely dip below 60 in high settings also with a 270X. This clearly shows I need a bit more CPU power. I'd get the FX 8320 it's only a few more bucks.

in the uk its an extra £80-100 which is about $200

As having seen an almost exact build to this myself, it runs well.

thanks that the advice i was looking for, as long as it gets over 30fps on vhigh/ ultra which the card does i can play, anyway i not using a 1080p moniter its 1600x900 and i am not changing for a while. thanks

Oh, well then that build is great! Pretty much what I have and it's perfect for gaming and you'll also have Mantle.

[xkingalexx]

you'll also have Mantle.

thats a feature i looked for on my card

Oh easily, though you may want to take a look at the 270 non x card. It's essentially the same card but cheaper.

does it have any drawbacks atall??

[AlwaysFSX]

It's not over clocked but you can do that yourself in 5 seconds.

ok
