So, I'm confused.

Here are some questions.
1) Is this all compatible?
2) Bottleneck between CPU and GPU?
3) Will it run latest games? On 720p/1020p.
4) What's the minimum of PSU watts

Here's the specs

AMD FX-Series FX-6350

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0

Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3

Enermax Case Fan T.B.APOLLISH 140mm X 4

Gigabyte MIDITOWER GZ-P51CBX-D00

Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD7850 2GB GDDR5 PCIE

Well everything seems compatible with each other accept the fan and case. The case take 80mm fans while the fan that you chose is a 140mm fan. Also make sure that you have 2 fans one for the rear and one for the front.

You will need at least a 750W PSU. calculations come to 550W, but to give you a bit more space to upgrade in the future i would recommend a 750W PSU. I calculated the value assuming that you will have 5 USB devices connected, 1 Hardrive and 1 CD/DVD Rom installed and 3 fans.

The GPU does not seem to be able to run the latest games. But you should not go by my words on the GPU cause i use nvidea. If you want to know i use the EVGA gtx 660 Ti GPU and runs most games at meduim to high.

What do you mean by having a bottleneck between the CPU and GPU?

Bottlenecking is when one component of the entire system holds back the performance of the whole... kind of like the weak link in the chain.

For gaming usually the GPU is the bottleneck as the CPU and RAM are not taxed as much as the GPU. In some instances, like the first response, the RAM can be the bottleneck.

Even high resolution gaming is all about the GPU, the CPU is almost never at 100%. Plus if you were trying to find out whether the CPU was the bottleneck then you'd want the best GPU so that the GPU wasn't the bottleneck
