Need help for a friend

[Jacles]

Ok, so my friend here just got some money for his confirmation. He just went and bought a titan x without having any knowledge about pc, and not checking any websites for help.

Warning: This is going to hurt.

 

This is his current specs:

Motherboard: SABERTOOTH 990FX

CPU: AMD FX-6100 with stock cooler

PSU: corsair cs750M

RAM: KINGSTON HyperX/ 8GB 1866MHz DDR3

Harddrive: 1TB 

GPU: Titan X
Monitor: Asus vg248qe 144hz

 

He had a 2gb gtx 770 msi before the titan x

 

So my question is will this even work? 

 

EDIT* He is going to use it for CS:GO and World of Warcraft. This is hurting my brain so much:(

It will work but most likely the cpu will bottleneck the gpu

[manikyath]

i cant remember psu wattages off the top of my head, but i'm pretty sure at least it wont catch fire.

 

thats one hell of a juicy cpu bottleneck tho.

 

EDIT: tag me somewhere if he ends up breaking something while installing it, it'll feed my troll side SO much

[SeanBond]

It will work. But he needs to upgrade the cpu and mobo....NOW.

[zyntaxable]

Ouch.

 

It'll work, but he will have such a big bottleneck that it isn't even funny anymore​

It'll "work" but CPU will bottleneck for sure.

Any suggestions for a cpu and motherboard for this system then?

The 4690k sould be fine and perhaps the ASUS Z97-C

[zyntaxable]

An i5 4690 with an H97 board, or an i5 4690k with any good brand z97 board

anything Z97 with a 4690k.

 

i personally prefer msi or asus boards for intel.

[3DDude]

X99 and 5820 a 100%.

 

Or give me the Titan, I will return you a GTX 970

[SeanBond]

A 4690k with a z87 or z97 board would be the best most sensible upgrade. However If he is really flat broke and can't save an i3 will work. However I don't think anyone will recommend that with a titan x. Clearly he has money to waste if he bought that over a 980ti that will perform the same or better. So I suggest a 5820k and a cheap x99 board because clearly money can be wasted.

Okayyyyy! I smell it the CPU will bottle neck the GPU ;-; ... New mobo. New CPU. He got some amount of money for his confirmation to get a Titan X. He should have bought a new PC instead

 

And... How many monitors does he plan to run with that 12GB beast?

1 because he doesn't think that far..

[Jacles]

He'll have a major bottleneck if that shit PSU doesn't give out first.

Any psus that you suggest?

[dougdangger]

Not a bright guy.  He could have bought a 980ti AND an i7 cpu and mobo.

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Any psus that you suggest?

To add on from above, the evga G2/P2 series.

[Sovek]

HAH! Try an Ivy Bridge i7 with a HD 6570.... someone I know has that combo. I wanna slap him silly.
