Can I ask what all of you are basing this on? Not saying you're wrong, it's just as a computer tech, I have never run into so many questions about bottlenecking as I have in these forums. I'd just really like to know why people seem so interested in such an abstract topic that from my experience, affects almost no one.

I understand what a bottleneck is, but my question is how you can make such a generalized statement. Take for example Arma III vs say Call of Duty. Arma relies intensely on the CPU, while Call of Duty doesn't. Therefore, you could bottleneck on one but be fine on the other. That said, OP is using a quad core processor, which should have more than enough headroom for current games that support multithreading (like BF4).
My comment would be that since the OP hasn't made it clear what games he is intending to play, how can you make a statement that has any sort of basis?

From the looks of it, you're right. I wish they would have shown the minimum FPS, though.

Like I said, before, bottlenecking doesn't affect many people, and even quad cores a couple generations back should be able to keep up with modern GPUs. The problem I could see people running into is GPUs that support PCIE 3.0 running on a motherboard that doesn't support it. That is a legitimate concern, unlike bottlenecking.

PCIe 2.0 x16 won't be a problem for one GTX 760, but if he does grab another for SLI, chances are the two slots will run at PCIe 2.0 x8, which could be a problem.
I mean, bottlenecking is still a legitimate concern, but it doesn't really show its face often since most people aren't trying to throw a Titan in a build with a single core Pentium or something.

Well SLI doesn't offer a 1:1 performance ration, he won't get 2x the power from 2 cards. I just know that PCIE 3.0 has higher bandwidth which the card could use if it had it available.
I guess my comment would be: If you have to ask about bottlenecking, chances are you're not bottlenecking.

Thnx guys i just needed a yes or no answer not all this other stuff but thnx. To answer one question im tryin to get ready for the next generation o can run all games at ultra like bf4 and other games coming up at 60fps but still playable until 1-2 yrs after. What processor would u recommend in amd range if not then intel
