Will i experience Bottleneck if i use an ati radeon 7850 + Intel Pentium G2030 3.0GHz Ivy Bridge?

jMvillszz · Oct 1, 2013

Hi, i'm trying to build my first (budget) gaming PC.
this is the parts that i've decided on, i know this parts are old but this are the only components i can find in my country(Philippines).

Intel Pentium G2030 3.0GHz Ivy Bridge
Gigabyte GA-B75M-HD3
His Hd7850 1gb-256bit
Corsair VS450 Power Supply
Corsair Vengeance 4GB Single 1600 CL9
Fractal Design Core 1000

my main question's are:

1. as the title says, will i experience bottleneck in this current CPU and GPU?
2. if ill be experiencing bottleneck what cpu would you guys suggest?
3. is this build future-proof?

this site is where i will be buying the components from:
dynaquestpc.com
www.easypc.com.ph
so if possible if you guys will be suggesting on what to change/replace from my current build please refer to those sites above.
ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!

In CPU intensive titles, you will probably see some bottlenecking. In the more GPU bound titles, not so much. Games are starting to take advantage of more cores. If you can afford it, I would bump up to an FX 6300 at minimum which does appear to be available on dynaquestpc.

The CPU may or may not limit you depending on the game, but in general I'd say that's a bit too much card for your CPU

. That board does give you some upward mobility. You should be able to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and a Core i7-3770 latter on, but you will never be able to get a k series CPU and overclock it. Of course if you don't worry about that then it's not an issue

. It's not a bad budget build and should serve you well for a while if you upgrade it when you can.

thnx for the speedy response, logainofhades.
ill be taking ur suggestion into consideration, so if ill be using that CPU(FX 6300) what motherboard should i pair it with, the one which i have the option to upgrade to faster CPU.

pls refer to the websites if it is possible thnx.

megamanx00 :

thnx for the speed response, the reason i chose the card was that i heard it is the best "bang for the buck" card i can get. so what cpu+mobo would u recommend with the card?

If you can get the cheapest i5, you'll have amazing bang for your buck, and power to serve you for many years.

firedice :

buying an i5 is too expensive for me, what motherboard would u guys suggest for an
AMD Vishera FX-6300 3.50GHz
if it is possible pls refer to this sites:
www.dynaquestpc.com
www.easypc.com.ph

really appreciate the help guys, thnx alot

You may as well get an I5, the cost of the 6300 + the new motherboard you'd need will be nearly as much.

Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($188.75 @ Outlet PC)

or the slightly cheaper and slightly slower

Intel Core i5-3330 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($177.97 @ Outlet PC)

The equivalent sandy bridge chip is also an option for you (very slightly slower than the 3330, uses a bit more power)

Intel Core i5-2320 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($170.98 @ SuperBiiz)

Having trouble getting onto the website that had that CPU. I think they had an Asrock 970 extreme4 on there. That would be a decent board.

jMvillszz · Oct 3, 2013

what about :
Amd Athlon II x4 631 Quad-Core Processor Socket Fm1 2.6ghz + His Hd7850 1gb-256bit
will this bottleneck?

logainofhades · Oct 3, 2013

That CPU's lack of L3 cache hurts it in games. I wouldn't recommend it.

Basically the G2030 is an i3 ivy bridge with less threads (only 2 instead of 4) and supports only 1333 mhz ram (against 1600 with i3), so we're talking about a light version of the i3 ivy bridge which is already declared a bottleneck for some cards in some games ..
