Oh, you're in for a shitstorm if you're asking that question; there's plenty of people on these forums who will claim an AMD CPU bottlenecks every graphics card ever invented...

 

In reality though, I don't really know what the worry is here. Nearly everybody has a bottleneck; either the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU, or the GPU is bottlenecking the CPU. As long as the performance doesn't actually leave much to be desired, I don't see how a bottleneck would be anything to get upset about.

You're getting a discrete graphics card so don't get an APU.

 

Get an i3 or even an i5 if you can. I love AMD but their processors really need some catching up to do.

ok if i buy an i5 will it be ok if its a 3rd gen??

get a 3570k?

 

or you could get an i5 4460, theyre cheapish.

yup, 3330 is only 10% behind my 4590 - perfectly fine.
