Yeah the a6 will bottleneck it. I used a similar apu with a 7770 and it was bad really bad. Its like pairing an old athlon x2 with it. Like boosted said never buy an apu if you plan on also getting a graphics card. Half the processors price is the iGPU. If ur on a budget look at a 6300 they can be picked up for just over 100 and are very capable gaming CPUs that if you overclock can be quite formidable.Even if you don't overclock it will be WAY better than that a6
