Potential bottlenecks?

Go to solution Solved by Atmos,

First off, get yourself a freaking HGST or WD drive. Seagate have marginally worse reliability, and since the drives are almost identical in price there's no reason to not get the simply higher quality HDD.

 

And if you're talking about a 6600k bottlenecking a 8800gts? No. The 8800gts will give you complete shit performance though, like, seriously. Don't expect to really play any AAA games at 1080p on really any settings.

A 6600k will not bottleneck really any gpus out there at the moment, so you can at least look forward to that.

 

The current pascal cards are not going to be instock, or come down in price for a while now. you may end up waiting over a month to see that happen so keep that in mind.

Good evening everyone, Im building a 800$ pc without a gpu, I'm waiting for the new pascal chips to come back in stock/regulate the prices

Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nt86XH

I will be pairing all that up with a EVGA e-Geforce 8800 gts for now. 

I want to know if I'm going to have any bottlenecks or issues in the system while I wait for stock/get the $$$

 

Left a selfie of the gpu just in case. ?? Thanks for reading in advance.

Just use the iGPU built into the 6600k over that. 

Probably get better performance off the CPU's gpu than that old card.

That's when you know it's bad...

The built in Intel graphics on the Skylake cpu's isn't horrible. It can play newer games at low settings at 1080p.

 

Not bad considering, it's doing 2 jobs in 1 CPU.

Okay thanks I'll change the hard drive and I don't mind waiting 2 or 3 months for the new gpus and for the 1080p gaming I won't be doing for quite a while anyways I have a simple 720p monitor I think I'm saving for gpu and monitor now.

I'll just have to teSt and see what's good, I don't have a 1080p panel yet I'll be playing at pretty low resolution.

Would it be inappropriate to "funny" this?
