Would I be bottlenecking my system if I got a GTX 680 to go along with my AMD FX 4100 Quad Core @ 3.60 GhZ? I also have 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 560 TI GPU ATM. With a 850W PSUThe bulldozer CPUs don't perform well with games, but it still wouldn't be the worst. If you wanted to upgrade you would want a 8320 or 6300.
And don't get a 680, you would get a much better price:performance ratio out of a 7970 or a 670 FTW. But the 7970 outperforms even the 680 and it's $400.
Thanks. The 670 FTW does look good compared to the 680 and much better on the price. Now if I get the 8320 CPU would I be able to buy it and upgrade the CPU without upgrading anything else? (Other than my GPU of course) And I'm not planning to OC the CPU so the stock cooling would be ok with it?You have an AM3+ board, right?
Yeah I do, but also I was thinking, for money wise ATM, I should probably get the GPU first before the CPU as an upgrade that'll at least push my FPS for the time being until I can afford the CPU, correct?
