cpu bottle neck graphics card?

RussianGiraffe13 · Jan 6, 2015

I was planning on building a pc with the fx 6300 but now as im choosing the processor i think i have a budget problem my budget is around 500 possibly 600 MAX. (no kidding 600.01 is going to be too much) anyways if the gpu is the most important to pc game i should begin to spend more money on the gpu and not the cpu. So what cpu and gpu combo should i buy?

We need more details on your currency, where are you buying from, and if the 600 budget is for other parts also, or just CPU and GPU.

What other parts do you have now in your PC?

I live in the us (us currency) 600 is the total build meaning all parts

If 600 is the budget for the whole build, this is what I would go with.
If you also don`t have an OS and need one, the performance will drop quite a bit:

If you choose the CPU he said he was using you might have enough money to buy a R9-280x.
