No, it won't. That's a fairly balanced pairing. Outliers will show more usage on one side than the other (e.g. skyrim - CPU intensive, Metro 2033 - GPU intensive), but that's normal with any setup.

Hmm. One says no and another says yes. I mostly play FPS games and building a system. I am wondering if it is worth it to invest the extra 75 dollars and upgrade to an 8350 cpu. I want to make something that will run Battlefield 4 at 1080p with good frame rates.
Unfortunately, I don't live in North America, so Amazon is not an option for me. If I used a 8350, it should not bottleneck an HD7970 at stock speed, right?
