Will these parts bottleneck (CPU and GPU)

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

For my build I want to use these parts (for CPU and GPU)

Intel i7-4930k 3.4 GHz LGA 2011 Boxed processor
-Number of cores: 6
-T-Speed of 3.9
-Core: Ivy Bridge

02G-P4-3765-KR NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX Cooler 2048MB GDDR5 PCIe x16 3.0 Video Card

-Here's a link to the Video Card

My one concern is will it bottleneck
I don't know much about. All I know is it means it can't keep up with the other parts speed.

Ivy Bridge-E? Bottlenecking a humble GTX 760? No, no. Rest assured.
But this CPU is quite too much for this GPU, if it's gaming what you're aiming at. Not a wise purchase unless you really need the IB-E power for some CPU oriented work.

Using this for gaming? The 4930K is awesome, but overkill and provide no added value over a 4770K for gaming.

Will either part bottleneck each other? Nope

Kai Dowin :

I am planing on recording game play. I'm also gonna do video editing.
So this wont bottleneck the GTX but its kinda overkill for just gaming.

toddybody :

Yes I am gonna use it for gaming but recording and i'm gonna do video editing.

Kai Dowin · Jan 20, 2014

Yes, a big overkill for gaming.
A 4770K could do the trick of video editing / game recording easily. You could use the difference to purchase a much stronger GPU and hence have a better gaming experience.

In fact, even a cheaper i5 4670K should't suffer as long you aren't absolutely needing to shave minutes of work.

Kai Dowin :

Okay I already have the CPU but not the GPU. If you have any recommendations for GPUs let me know.

Kai Dowin · Jan 20, 2014

How much cash do you have available?

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

Kai Dowin :

About $400
I don't really have a budget to go off of. I'm gonna get the rest of the parts as I get money i just wanna keep it in a rang where i can earn enough without thinking i'm never gonna get there.

Assuming that you have a PSU that can handle one, go for a GTX 770. It's a nice step up comparing to the GTX 760's performance.

logainofhades · Jan 20, 2014

An R9 280x or a 4gb GTX 770 would fit the bill for that budget. Some have complained of running out of v-ram with the 2gb 770.

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

Ok so this is what im looking at

I didn't pick a PSU yet but I will be sure to get one that can support it

Newegg has it for less. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130948

logainofhades :

Nice thanks

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

Does anyone know of a good enough CPU cooler I did some research and found that the CPU I have will or can get really hot without a good CPU cooler and thermal paste. So if anyone knows of a good CPU cooler (preferably a water cooler) please let me know.

logainofhades · Jan 20, 2014

Depends on what your case can support. What case do you have?

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

logainofhades :

Phantom NZXT

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

Here's a CPU cooler I found that should fit in my case
Kraken X40 140mm Ultra Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

gamingpower · Jan 20, 2014

Never mind the cooler I listed up above is kinda known for leaking or doing something bad to the mother board.

logainofhades · Jan 20, 2014

Which phantom in particular do you have? I haven't heard anything bad about the Kraken line. I would take newegg reviews with a grain of salt. You don't know what kind of abuse these so called experts put the cooler under while installing it or to their system in general. Any water cooler has the potential to leak.
