Will an OC G3258 to about 3.8-4 bottleneck sli 660? I am paring it with a Z87 A MOBO. Thanks

Depends on the game, as with any setup... Tomb Raider you won't have a problem. Battlefield 3 it'd bottleneck a single GTX 660.

Intel i5-4690K @ 3.8GHz || Gigabyte Z97X-SLI || 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600MHz || Asus GTX 760 2GB @ 1150 / 6400 || 128GB A-Data SX900 + 1TB Toshiba 7200RPM || Corsair RM650 || Fractal 3500W

You can easily hit 4.7 on a hyper 212 evo if you have a decent chip, If your not OCing to at least 4.2 GHz don't bother getting the G3258.  It'll probably bottleneck to a degree if it's a multi-threaded game like BF4  but that's only because you have two cores.

Mein Führer... I CAN WALK !!

It actually runs Battlefield 4 surprisingly well... better than even Battlefield 3.

It's pretty good at running it but on 64 player conquest it can struggle at times.

 

Yeah I'd imagine, but to that effect it does about as well as an AMD Athlon quad core so BF4 seems to be pretty well optimized in that it can utilize many threads without requiring many threads.

Ill step up as high as it will go.

Nah! And even so, if you can afford to upgrade your CPU and GPU, go for it. If you can't afford both, upgrade your GPU and enjoy your gains(there will be gains), bottlenecks be damned. Take it from a guy running 2 gtx 960s sli on a Core 2 Quad q9550. The jump from a single gtx 285 to even a single gtx 960 was very noticable.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k @ 4.6ghz, Cooling: NZXT Kraken x61(Push/Pull), MOBO: EVGA Z97 FTW, OS: Windows 10, RAM: 16gb EVGA SuperSC DDR3 2400, Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 250gb + 500gb SSD, WD Black 1tb HDD, PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000w G1, Case: NZXT Phantom 530, GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 980 CLASSIFIED, Monitor: Seiki 39 inch, 1080p @ 120hz, 4k @ 30hz

I saw that two 660s in sli get between the 960 and the 970 in some games. Those games happen to be mostly games that I play. Thats the sweet spot for me at about 40-50fps. I got them cheap too
