FX 6300 Bottlenecking

[cjeffcoatjr]

I am trying to put together a budget build for under $850. I already posted this in the Workbench and this is what I came up with in the end.

I only have only one question. Will the cpu and the gpu bottleneck? I will most likely be overclocking once I get it.

[Bluejay0]

No it will not. Now go build the damn thing!

[Guest GRRigger]

it would not bottleneck even at stock. if you mean 100% load on cpu with bottleneck.

but you will get better average framerate when you overclock obviously. and your minimum fps will jump what i consider best factor  4.5 is good clock with this proc and you have sufficient cooling

[cjeffcoatjr]

No it will not. Now go build the damn thing!

haha alrighty. Time to build this thing!

[TechFan@ic]

This is an all round fantastic build, might want to consider upgrading the motherboard however for better overclocking.
To something like an M5A97 R2.0 or a Gigabyte 970A DS3P.

Whats with the 16gb of ram? If you are gaming there is no reason to have that much. Use some of that to get you an ssd. NEED MOAR SPEED!

BF4 uses upwards of 10GB of memory.

[asusfan]

Looks good spec and no it shouldn't i have a FX5300 and run crossfire its fine.

 

maybe a small liquid cooler in the future to save room in the case, and hybrid drive (SSHD) instead of normal HDD.

and yeah 16gig of ram is normal now stick with it,

._. I am afraid. I am very afraid. Well looks like all 6 of my dim slots are going to be full

Triple channel kits are usually a better value anyway.

[Guest GRRigger]

Triple channel kits are usually a better value anyway.

BUY ALL THE RAM !

Nah to expensive

[OuchMyFaceyHole]

You sure about that? BF3 only uses about 5-6. Give it time i doubt that it will.

no it 3will not bottleneck. just build it!

[ViruZ_HUN]

nope. it uses up to 3 gb what i knows. then everybody why have 8 gig of ram or lower would need to update. i have 12 gig of ram and can play the beta

Either way jes asking for bottleneck, not much build suggestion.

[tedjani]

yeah i know but i thought why not building the best for the money

[Bluejay0]

Good suggestion though! Good alternative if OP likes

[cjeffcoatjr]

I do believe you meant alternative. And yes, the 770 would be nice if I ever get something like a shield.

[JoshM]

no

[Ryan Leech]

That motherboard is not going to get you anywhere near 4.0GHz, so don't plan on overclocking.
