Hello!
I have already bought the parts for the pc which include:

The AMD 8350
2x ASUS DirectCU II 770
ASRock 990FX Extreme4
8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400mhz
Corsair HX850 psu
CMStorm Stryker Case
Corsair H100i Cooler


So... the question is: Will my CPU bottleneck due to the 2 GTX 770s?

Probably not, the 8350 is pretty powerful.

Thanks! I guess it's able to handle the 770s.

All depends on the game

Imo i wouldnt go after these benchmarks. The 3770k's stock is 3,4 Ghz and amd FX 8350 is 4 ghz, if both is clocked to 4,4 the 3770k ofc have an advantage. take the 8350 to 5ghz and 3770k to 4,4 and it is a bit more even

Keep in mind that the i7-3770k is $100 more than the FX-8350. In our world of rapidly evolving technology, Computer Components are almost like Cars in terms of cost. Prices deteriorate almost exponentially with time. There is nothing wrong with the AMD 8350. You will end up saving money both now and in the future when you decide to upgrade by buying 2nd best. If money is no subject, then pick the best. If you work for it, stick with cost-performance ratio. For some games, like the Battlefield 3 example, performance loss is marginal. 10 FPS vs $100? the choice is yours.

I would also like to point out that the I7-3770 in Turbo reaches 3.9 Ghz, not 4.4 Ghz as the example shows, so the numbers are a bit skewed.

The i7 will give you slightly better frame rates but nothing that the human eye can see. As Kedzie pointed out, it's just not worth the extra $100 if all you're doing is gaming.

In some games the 8350 will hold back the 770s. You are already paying $800 for the gpus alone you might as well spend another $150 for a better CPU. The chart shows both CPUs at average overclocks (the 8350 might be able to add 100-200 mhz more).

Sometimes you even see negative scaling.
