Amd x3 450 bottleneck ati 4850

[markuk1]

hello im building a new system a was wondering if any one knows if a 4850 512mb would bottleneck a athlon II x3 450 if not i was thinking of crossfireing them or would this create a large bottleneck i will be gaming at 1680x1050 and i play bc2 crysis/fallout new vegas basicaly all the latest games

It should not bottleneck a single 4850, but I don't know about two in CrossFire.

Chech this GPU Chart http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/2010-gaming-graphics-charts-high-quality/Battlefield-Bad-Company-2,2464.html

Maybe you could get the 4850's and buy a better CPU later if you see it's the problem.

IMO you should be OK if you OC the CPU a little.
