Hi, im looking to upgrade my system to a GTX 970.
I've read some posts about how an avergae FX-6350 and a GTX 970 would be bottlenecked at
1080p + resolutions.
With that knowledge, I've considered buying a new CPU, the FX-8320e. I'm trying to spend as little money as possible, preferably >$600

Right now, I'm running 1366x768, with no plans to upgrade.
Will the 970 be bottlenecked by the FX-6350 at 1366x768?
Thanks for your time!

The 6350 should still be playing modern games at 60FPS, in about a year though you will need a new CPU so I recommend upgrading the GPU now and the CPU in a year.

Hi, thanks for your time.
Im aware that the answer is no, but im quite confused as to how it wont at the moment. Will there be a sudden change of drivers? Sorry if im being dumb, but i want to know if i should invest into the 8320e or stick with my 6350.

Thanks.

I think he is being short with you, but the thing is, at 720p a gtx 970 is absolutely, positively overkill.

You can get away with a 650 ti and be fine. But instead, you should also invest in a 1080p monitor. you will be really glad you did. :):)
