Ok so my CPU is an apu, a10-5800k and I'm planning on getting a gtx 670, because why not :), but there us conflicting stories saying I will or will not bottleneck, I hear even if it was a bottleneck it would hardly be noticable? Therefore should I go for it? And no I'm not buying a new CPU or mobo. I want to know if I can use this configuration.

Without a doubt you will bottleneck that GPU with that CPU(a low end 4 core fx)
However why not i would still buy the 670 their will be a huge performance benefit but it won't be as huge as it would with a better processor

Depending on the game probably talking 20+ fps or more.

A better match would be something like a gtx 660, why waste money if you will never see the difference in performance?
