My have a fx6300 and I plan to get a rx 580 sometime soon( I currently have a 560) and I was wondering if it would bottleneck any. And if that works, can I overclock it?

I am faster than 80% of all snakes

cpu: AMD Fx-8350

motherboard: GIGABYTE 970 (am3+)

RAM: 16gb ddr3 adata

gpu: AMD xfx rx 560 2gb

psu: 500w

storage: 1tb hdd

I am what you call “budget gamer”

It will severely bottleneck RX580, even if you OC that CPU to hell.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

I definitely wouldn't say "to hell" but there will be a performance deficit in some cases brought about by the slow and old FX CPU. 

 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The most intense game I might play is overwatch and dota 2, would it be a problem then?

Just gonna have to ask real quick for nobody to use the bogus Bottleneck Calculator please 

 

It's total BS

Dota, no. Overwatch, however, shows a performance bottleneck with my brother's i5 7400, which is much better than your FX CPU. I would stick to high/ultra instead of epic (unless I have ultra and epic switched around in my head, just don't apply the highest settings, go for like medium)

Lol I wasn’t planning to, so if I keep it a medium or low it won’t bottleneck? and also can I overclock my gpu when I have this problem or scenario

Again, the GPU won't ne the one holding you back. Overclocking it won't exactly help.
