Will an AMD FX-8350 Vishera bottleneck an AMD Radeon HD 7970?

[16TerrorBites]

I'm doing a $1,500 AMD build for a charity event. All the entries along with a check of $30,000 will be donated to a video production office that was destoyed in a fire. I'm not that experienced with AMD based systems, and would like to know if the FX 8350 will be bottlenecked by the Radeon 7970, or vice versa. Thanks in advance!

 

System so far:

 

Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera

Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7970 3GB

Case: Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Gunmetal Black

Cooling: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler

Motherboard: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3

Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600

Power Supply: CORSAIR Gold AX750 750W

SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 128GB

Storage: Western Digital WD Black 1TB

Lighting: NZXT HUE RGB Led Controller with LED strip

 

*There is only 1TB of storage as a scratch disc. My friend is building a 12TB RAID10 server.*

No, both are really good for each other!

It may be a little bottleneck but at those high framrates, it doesn't make any difference. Maybe you can see some dips in very intensive games(Crysis 3, Far Cry 3), but nothing major.

[M-ursu]

There wont be any bottlenecks.

[Godlygamer23]

People here are saying that there won't be any bottlenecks, but in actuality, there's always a bottleneck. Because every part in your computer has limitations. Otherwise, we would have infinite FPS.

No, will be fine! nice build

[SkulD]

You should keep the PC xD

 

 

 

 

I know its for a good cause :D, so yeah don't listen to me.

[16TerrorBites]

Thanks everyone for the fast feedback!

Could you add more ram a video production is heavy on ram.

I would say atleast 16gigs of ram.

True. Thanks for the tip.

Yes but the gaming bottleneck is the graphics card as opposed to the cpu.

Not really. The CPU can be bottlenecking a video card. Linus has demonstrated that already.

[sk8ermanblue]

There will be some bottlenecking going on but they will be very wide and not able to be noticed by most people to quote Linus. "Every computer has bottlenecks it's just how big they are" this one should have some gaping holes that will be able to do some serious game time and edit very well with all of those cores. I would suggest 16Gigs of 1600 ram fore sure though as you don't want to artificially bottleneck with ram and rendering :)

An 8350 can easily drive a single 7970. The only case where it would bottleneck is if you were playing starcraft II or something like that.

In this case it won't apart from a couple of scenarios such as PS2, BF3 64 Player big map servers etc. CPU upgrades will sometimes improve performance in certain games, but this is more to do optimisations as opposed to bottlenecks.

I'd say that for a single GPU the FX-8350 would be a respectable CPU well maybe not the GTX Titan, but for what you're doing it will be just fine. The board is totally enough for this type of build, but really as it was mentioned get 16GB of RAM.
