Overall my storage. I don't have SSDs and I refuse to get one until they come down lower in price. 

In terms of gaming, then it would have to be my graphics card as I'm still running a 560ti

My ssd and hard drives are my biggest bottleneck.

$1300 on new computer.

 

Less storage than my laptop.  :D

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Depends on what I am doing.

When I open a big program it's my SSD. When I encode video it's my CPU. When I play games it's my GPU. In a general purpose computer you usually don't have a single bottleneck.

For me, it's a bit of everything.

 

I have a 2500k and two 7870's. I like to record and do video editing, which my 2500k is fine with, but with more newer games coming out, my recording capabilities is diminishing, now I wish I went with a 2600k initially.

 

My GPU's are fine, but I'd much prefer a single card solution, but hey, I got one of them for free, so why not.

My HD 6670 for an FX 6300 could be considered a bottleneck!

Also I use a HDD for a boot drive so that is also an bottleneck.

FX 6300 @ 4.2 Gigahurtz 1.325V ,  ASRock 970 Extreme 4 mobo  ,  Kingston Hyperx Blu 2X4GB @1600Mhz  , Asus GTX 960 DCU ii Black OC  , Hyper 212 Evo , Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB , WD 1 TB caviar Green , Xonar DG sound card , Seasonic M12ii Evo 620W PSU , Corsair 200R case ,4 random case fans.

Well, a wouldn't really call it a bottleneck, but my CPU could handle a more powerful GPU.

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

It has to be my motherboard. If I my CPU was running at 2.4GHz like it should I would still be able to play modern games.
