Hello all, I'm looking at building my first gaming PC this summer and I have planned out my build; the problem being, I have recently realised bottle-necking might be a significant issue...

 

My build is as follows:

 

CPU: AMD FX-6300

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4GB DDR3-1600MHz

Storage: WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD

Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X 4GB

Case: NZXT S340

Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W

 

Until now I hadn't really considered this problem, what I'd like to know is (a) how big of a problem will it be generally? ( B) what possible solutions are there? Baring in mind that I don't want to spend much more at all, this is pretty much my maximum budget as it is.

 

What exactly needs doing?

 

Any help is appreciated greatly!
(If you suggest parts, specifics/recommendations are appreciated too)

By the time Summer comes around the build will be completely different (in terms of brands/cost at least). I would wait and ask when you're ready to buy it.

 

Good idea... thanks for suggesting that! :)

Looks like I'll be back in a few months then, haha.
