Cpu: amd fx 8350
mobo: Asus Formula z Crosshair 5
Video Card: Nvidia geforce gt 440
Ram: Corsair 2400mhz Dimm etc.
Then, we take a random game. Minecraft, makes the giant lag spike that results in a drop of the frame to the maximum. It is a bottleneck of the Cpu? or the video card?
 
Solution
The graphics card is your bottleneck, the 440 is a low end card. Your processor is ok and with a 290x it wont bottleneck too bad. Your question about 290x vs 7xx cant be answered unless you say which 700 series card.
