Hi I’m just upgrading my pc and I’m not sure if I can get a gtx 1060 3gb I my current cpu is a a8 7650k and I was wondering if the bottle neck would be massive. I’m not sure if this would help but I have overclocked my cpu to 3.9ghz. So I’m not sure if I should get a 1060 3gb or a 1050 ti or even a rx 570/470

Thanks in advance:)

You would be better off with a different CPU. Dropping in even an Athlon with an overclock would leave you wanting more. I wouldn't use the term bottleneck, mind you, lets just say that the system would be sluggish in certain apps/tasks.

We'd need to know the rest of your system's specs though.
