Hello, I am a fellow PC enthusiast, but I'm quite new to all this, and need guidance. :unsure:  :wacko:

I put together a gaming build within budget, and I was wondering if anything would bottleneck.

I live in Iceland, so parts are extremely expensive, and not any part is available :unsure:  :unsure:  (these are). 

And if you're able to, I'd love for you to tell me how good this system would be.  :)  :)  :)

No, it won't bottleneck

2nd

for gaming, just don't get amd cpus for gaming, only fm2 ones if on extreme budget

3rd

get yourself msi z97 pc mate and an i3, it'll be waaaaaaaaay better in gaming, 8320 will only win in rendering and cpu heavy games (wich are I guess under 1% of all the games)

Oops, missed the part about being in Iceland. That won't bottleneck, but if you at all can, try to upgrade the video card to an R9 270 or R9 280, as it will make a huge difference. If AMD is really expensive but Nvidia has better prices I'd suggest going up to something like a 960, 760, 660 Ti, or 660, as all are big midrange upgrades over the 750 Ti.

 

What's the difference in price between FX-8320 + AM3+ board + CPU cooler vs cheapest i5-4xxx + cheapest H81 board in Iceland? Because if it's close the i5+H81 would be the better system, and i5's are fine on the stock cooler.

room for upgrades

well i3 has 2 physical cores and hyper threating, while 8320 has 8 physical cores. If theres a rpg game that relies on cpu performance ofc 8320 will win

 

unless the game only uses 1 or 2 cores like most games in the past few years, in which case a high end i3 and 8320 perform similarly.

Even in BF4 (FX's dream game) i3's perform similarly.

For the sake of the point I was making, which was that single core performance on FX series is dated severely, I pointed out that recent games that dont utilize more cores are not better with an 8320 compared to a higher end i3.

 

You are correct, the performance in almost all games isnt that different.
