Would FX-8320@4Ghz bottleneck R9 390?

Just ordered the SSD, gonna reset my PC and clean everything in my HDD as well. Might as well also clean my fans when I'm installing my SSD, you don't want to see the front of my PC, it is literally a massive grey patch of dust because I'm fucking lazy.

I dont think you have to delete everything. I didn't, I used the samsung magician software to transfer all the programs and software. and drivers. Worked flawlessly, but since my old drive was no faster than a flash drive it took a good 18 hours.

Yeah, but I just prefer having it cleaned. It just feel nicer, for some reason.

Would FX-8320@4Ghz bottleneck a R9 390? (Sapphire or XFX, if you're wondering)

 

Thinking about upgrading from my R9 280, or should I get a SSD and upgrade RAM first?

 

The parts I would get:

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB 2133Mhz

SSD: HyperX Fury SSD 240GB

You'll definitely see improvements in most games, although the bottleneck will get larger. Whatever games that's already being bottlenecked now with the 280 will see minimal improvements, while some games that used to run fine will start showing signs of bottlenecking. I'd try ocing that 8320 if I were you.

 

For a 8350, 390 is about the highest you can go before getting anything higher will be nearly pointless due to bottlenecking, just so you know.
