Hello Everyone,
I have saved up the funds to purchase a new CPU, but I think the one I have in mind is going to be a little too extreme and cause my graphics setup to bottleneck. I was looking into getting an AMD FX-8350 primarily to game on, but am almost positive that it will max out my 2x EVGA GTX 650 Ti BOOST "Superclocked" 2GB cards in SLI. What are your opinions? Are my suspicions correct? And if they are, could you recommend another CPU for less to give me a balanced setup? My current CPU is the AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition but this old dog is getting a tad outdated in games like BF4. Finally, if the FX-8350 is a viable option would water cooling be a must? Because I really don't trust myself enough to water cool but would surely be willing to buy an aftermarket cooler. Thanks for any suggestions or feedback. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
