Will this be a bottleneck

Go to solution Solved by Nonco,

Hello.

I was planing to get this mobo and this CPU to go with my AMD R9 270x (already have) and I was wondering if the i7 would bottleneck that R9 270x.

Also I have a corsair 500w psu which should be enough but just want to double check because I don't want to buy a new one if I don't have to.

 

Youll be absolutely fine.

However do you actually need the i7 4790K? Is this build just for games or will you be doing other things with it?

No. It won't  bottleneck. 

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

 

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 4K 9750H GTX 1650 16GB Ram 256GB SSD

Well considering dual titan x would not be bottlenecked by a 4790k....

 

For only gaming get an i5 4690k

Alrighty, just making sure, some people go all out on an i7 unlocked edition and just play games where they could have just gone for an i5 :P

 

Only thing id look into would be a better motherboard which allows for better overclocking otherwise its kinda a waste to get the unlocked CPU

(I dont think the B85 series actually allow overclocking?)
