I was wanting to make sure that my AMD FX-8350 won't bottleneck the new GPU's coming out. I pre-ordered a EVGA GTX 1080 FTW and wanted to make sure that it wouldn't mess with my system and I wouldn't be getting the most out of the GPU.

Thank you to who all answer. :)

Also I don't want people just saying to go with Intel 'cause "intel is soooo superior" blah blah blah. I want educated reasons and unbiased thoughts.

It will bottle-neck you but not too much. AMD just doesn't have a REALLY GOOD CPU. They are just mediocre at most. They would compare to like an older 4th gen i3. I would recommend a newer i5 if you have the money

Alright, thank you. I just don't want to get the GTX 1080 and then only be able to pull as many frames as my current GPU. Would just be a giant waste of money.

I think I'll try to upgrade to intel in the future, just not the near future... I have money but can't be upgrading my entire system all at once. Especially CPU which would require a new mobo as well. I'll give it a consideration.

Thank you again.
