Will it Bottleneck?

[Bryan Wolfard]

Hey guys, I'm planning to build a new budget gaming PC. I'm curious to know will a i3 7100 and GTX 1060 6GB Bottleneck??

[JunYee]

Probably not, but why not use the newer i3 8100, it has 2 more cores than the i3 7100 and cost about the same.

I don't think it will bottleneck much, but I would rather choose a ryzen 3 1200 because it has 4 psysical cores and costs around the same.

[Herman Mcpootis]

not really, but get a ryzen 1200 or G4560 instead of the 7100.

I recommend you to go for a Ryzen 3 or 5

most of the new games need 4 cores to run so try to avoid that i3 as much as you can

It's kinda stupid to go for that when you can get a Ryzen 3 or 5 and a b350 mobo and oc it to the max

I wish to get the or 8100, but I already bought the 7gen Mobo

Is return an option? I pretty much agree with what everybody else is saying.
