Ok so I am getting a AMD FX 8350 along with a gtx 760. Today somebody told me my 8350 will severely bottleneck my gtx 760. This person is a die hard Intel fanboy and they recommended I go with an I5 instead. So I don't know whether to trust him or not. I know that the 8350 is comparable to the I7 so I really don't think it would impair my Gtx 760. So basically my question is will an AMD FX 8350 really bottleneck my gtx 760?

An i5 would be better and the 8350 can be a bottleneck, especially for high end GPU's in SLI. But with a single 760, you'll be fine.

Hard to call people fanboys anymore. AMD has pretty much abandoned the enthusiast, your friend is just being honest. It's hard to recommend a 2 year old CPU that was weak at launch, on a socket(AM3) that is likely dead.

The 8350 will not bottleneck, bottlenecking is a term used to describe when you haven't spent enough money on a product.

So these stupid fanboys believe that if you spend over 9,000 dollars on a CPU that you won't "Bottleneck" when in fact in every unbiased test they're wrong.

The GPU is more important.
