I have an amd fx-4300 quad core clocked to 4.2 ghz, a radeon 7770 with 1gb ddr5, 8 gbs vengeance ram, and 2 hdd, both being 7200 rpms. how do i know if its bottlenecking?
 
Solution
There is no processor bottleneck there. Though you may benefit slightly with a more powerful CPU, there is no real "bottleneck" with a new FX CPU that's overclocked. Especially when paired with a 7770, you're getting about as much performance as possible right now.
