O oddidude Reputable Sep 12, 2014 80 0 4,630 Oct 14, 2014 #1 I was deciding on a CPU for my first build but I wasn't sure which one to get out of these two. AMD FX 8320 + CM hyper 212 EVO (OC'ed) or i5 4460. Also will either of these bottleneck a gtx 770 SLI?

Solution Brunostako Oct 14, 2014 The FX 8350 will cause bottlenecks in some more CPU intensive games, even worst if you plan to use GTX 770 SLI. The Core i5 is what you need. Games hardly use 4-cores, is better to have 4 strong cores instead of 8 weaker cores.

O oddidude Reputable Sep 12, 2014 80 0 4,630 Oct 14, 2014 #3 Sorry forgot to mention that I won't be getting the two 770's straight away. I'll be getting one for now. I can't afford the 970 Upvote 0 Downvote

rockie_ Splendid Sep 20, 2014 6,022 0 27,960 Oct 14, 2014 #4 then i5 4590 But GTX 770 has usually only 2GB RAM Upvote 0 Downvote

Brunostako Honorable Dec 16, 2013 2,349 1 12,960 Oct 14, 2014 #7 Yes, if that's the one available to you. For the GPU, the GTX 970 4GB would be better. Upvote 0 Downvote

O oddidude Reputable Sep 12, 2014 80 0 4,630 Oct 14, 2014 #10 Just checked the prices of the xeon processors and I've decided not to even consider getting one Upvote 0 Downvote
