Hello Everyone!
A few years ago, I've built a PC. Now I am considering upgrading it. I believe the GPU is currently the most limiting element. So that's where I want to start. I am, however, not sure if the CPU will bottleneck the new GPU. So I'd like to ask whether you could give your opinion:
Current setup:
AMD FX-6200 6-Core
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon 6800 Series (I think 6870, unsure though)
What I'd like to change:
AMD FX-6200 6-Core
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
8GB RAM
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Can anyone tell me how much the CPU will limit the GPUs capabilities?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit:
I use the PC for the following: Gaming and Complex calculations (with python)
