Hi everyone,
Im new to building a PC and stuff like that. But have been watching LinusTechTips for quite some time now and I'm trying to build my own gaming PC from scratch.
I just wanna know if the Intel Core i3-7100 3.9Ghz Kabylake Processor would "BOTTLENECK" the RX 580 8GB/RX 580 4GB Gaming in anyway? I wanna make a Cheap Build for my first try but I also want to get at least, 1080p with 60fps. 


I have no idea what Bottlenecks are. just heard them from others.
Any Ideas about those kind of stuff? bottleneck thingy.

Thanks in advance.

Bottleneck means that a component is really powerfull, but is limited by another one and has to lower it's performance.

In a lot of cases, people will buy a huge graphics card, but a cheap CPU. The GPU can process information soooo  fast that the CPU can't keep up.  This is a CPU bottlenecking the GPU.

 

In your case I can't say though, I will let you wait for another reply to answer your question more specifically ;)

So thats how it works, thanks for that Jerped. I have also though of getting the Pentium G4560 for the RX 580, But I bet, even with no experience on Building, Bottlenecks, and Compatibility it would just not cut it.


Thanks Jerped.
