G3258 with Crossfire

[x Relentless Xx]

Im looking to do a G3258 build and was wondering if when overclocked around 4.8GHz, would it be able to feed data fast enough to two R7 260X's in crossfire? or would it be a bottleneck?

It would be fine, though why would you want to CrossFire R7 260Xes?

[SuperPug]

Consider that they don't all overclock that high.. you might get a shitty overclocker

[Interfectorem]

I don't think it would be a bottleneck, the G3258 is pretty powerful for it's caliber. Although, why Crossfire two 260X? Just curious, not going to tell you to not do it like some other people, but I'm curious. Is it because you already own one 260X?

Because Its only a LAN party rig and id like to have something thats good enough to run games like BF4 on ultra at a smooth 60 fps, but nothing over the top. Ive seen the R7 260x struggle in bf4 on ultra with a single card

Just... don't. Buy a better GPU, do not crossfire 260x's if that's even possible.

then why not going with an R9 270 or R9 280 instead?

Also, yes this cpu will bottleneck such GPU's in many games even if you can push a strong overclock on it...modern games like BF4 require 4 to 8 threads processing.

You should look for a core i3 or a locked core i5 and a cheaper motherboard instead unless you play a lot of CPU intensive single threaded games like most MMO's and Rts for example where the pentium really shine.

for lans i would use a nvidia 970 or amd  r9 280 and what cooler you using

looking to do a Corsair H100i

[Si3Rra_7]

drop the h100i , get a hyper 212 evo , that'll be enough , instead of 2 260xs ( in case you dont have them yet ) + the money from h100i get a 970 and fuhk beaches

no h100i i would not use a liquid cooled pc for lans as it can easily be damaged in transite

Its only a LAN party rig lol, nothing too fancy, ill still have my main rig lol

well you wanted 60 fps on bf4 on ultra , Thats fancy if you ask me 

[x Relentless Xx]

will mostly be a CSGO rig

[Si3Rra_7]

will mostly be a CSGO rig

then a 750 ti would push 120 fps on it and be very eficient , probably run bf4 @ 60 fps on med . 770 for the 60 fps ultra if you want
