[MatrixGrenade]

Is an AMD R9 380 at 1100 Mhz bottle necked by an AMD Fx8350 at 4.3Ghz?

it's a good match for 1080p gaming...if you don't already own the FX CPU i would advise you do more research and buy something else though.

It is not officially bottlenecked, but you'd get a 10+ fps hit because of the CPU. Change it right off if you can

Which Cpu should I switch too, like a 6600k or a 6700k. I work with a lot of video and pictures, so may be the 6800k?

If you can afford it, totally. Just keep in mind you have to change motherboard and go with a Z170 to get overclockability. Also, they don't come with a cooler, so an H100i v2 from Corsair or something equal or better should let you reach high OCs

Also, could you make some examples of workflows you are going to have on your PC? That would help me suggest you which one between the three CPUs

I use obs to record in mp4 then use Sony Vegas Pro 13 to edit and transcode the footage. I then compress it with hand brake to reduce the size. With photos I really just adjust the colors in photoshop. I do more editing then I do gaming btw.

The 6800K is a bit overkill, it has 6 cores 12 threads, which are a lot more than enough. It also has less single-core performance than the 6700K. The 6600K is only 4c/4t so streaming while gaming and editing (even if Vegas is one of the least optimized editing programs) would be noticeably slower and worse than the 6700K. I would go with the 6700K, so you have more than enough power to stream, edit, transcode and you save up some cash to buy good components instead of the 6800K. That's my advice and suggestion, 6700K, ASUS Z170-PRO GAMING, Corsair H100i v2

Thank you so much. I think I will take ur recommendation on the parts besides the cooler because I still have the last generation H100i anyways.
