It will get bottlenecked by the CPU. You can go intel or wait till zen or get a 8350

How bad will it get bottlenecked?

How bad will it get bottlenecked?

Quite bad using the FX 6300, I would say 20-30% less fps/performance

It all depends on the Usage Scenario

doesn't matter, any bottleneck is enough to render the extra cash you spend on the card useless

Considering i have already purchased the 980TI and its on the way what would u recommend i upgrade my processor to? AMD is preferred

The card will be useless with a 6300.

Why AMD? Intel's processors atm are much better.

Intel 6700k. If amd then FX 9590 (you never mentioned budget)

More affordable for me. Also keep in mind my current Mobo uses AM3+ so if i stick with FX Series i will also save money in the mobo. I do know i need to update my modo soon to but i would rather be latter.

That AMD maybe doable any other recommendations in the "budget" side

Dont have a water cooler so it will not be possible my bad

Dont need a water cooler, an air cooler like hyper 212 evo is sufficient

It'll be fine with the 6300, at least for now. Sure there will be a bottleneck but only to a minimal amount (losing 5-10 fps compared to something like a 5960x), not the 20/30% less performance that I saw someone else saying. You're better off waiting until you can upgrade to Intel (getting a new mobo + cpu) as the 9590 is not a good CPU by any stretch of imagination.

plus depending on your mobo the FX-9590 will burn up your mobos VRMs

Looked at the FX 9590 on Newegg it says liquid cooler is required

good to know

As i stated i have already purchased the 980ti and its on its way as we speak so i did screw up big time just needing to know if i will be able to atleast use the 980ti with my setup and PSU.

the 212 evo wouldnt do the job, the 9590 is rated at 220 watts

Yeah you'll be quite fine for now. 

[XBL-Revolution]

Yeah you'll be quite fine for now. 

just to confirm for the 9000th time my current setup WILL be able to at least use the 980ti knowing my PSU is @600w the 980ti will still work with all my other parts?

visit you local power supply calc

my findings say that you psu is fine as long as you have enough pci-e cables

Ohh I sort of glossed over the PSU part, you'd probably want 650+ watts for a 980ti.

return it and get something cheaper if money is a concern upgrading the rest of your system

[MilkJugg24]

That is one helluva bottleneck going on there... I mean at least you'll make full use of the processor right?
