what is the cheapest cpu to run 660 without bottleneck

Turtle The Cat · Mar 16, 2014

AMD is known for cheap cpus

intel is known for the best cpus

i bought a 2gb gtx 660 at bestbuy for $120 during black friday
friend told me about the sale so he told me to get it

btw my friend have a 770 with SLi ready/support
the cpu have to be lower than 150
not $200 over like the 3570k

will this cpu AMD FX-6300 bottleneck the 660? 2gb

Turtle The Cat :

no, it'd work just fine with a 660

what about the althon 750k or 760k

lxgoldsmith :

no motherboard

so you can pick intel or amd

many would argue that the i3 is better for games because it takes the cake for single threaded performance

Some games take advantage of more cores, but a lot still don't. It might just come down to which titles you plan to play. If you're playing lots of Battlefield or Crysis 3, then the FX 6300 is better. If you're playing lots of Skyrim, Starcraft II, or World of Warcraft, then the i3 would be better.
