6870 crossfire with Fx.6100?

[taknor]

Hi people first my english y bad because I´m from uruguay. I need your help, i´m planing to buy a new computer so this is the performance:
CPU:Fx-6100?
MOBO:M5A99X-EVO
GPU: ATI HD6870 CROSSFIRE
CASE:HAF 912
HDD:2TB SEAGATE
PSU: COOLER MASTER SILENT PRO M 850W

So if i buy a 6870 crossfire with the fx6100 will be bottleneck?
In that case wich AMD CPU will run fine with the crossfire?
THX A LOT PEOPLE

It will likely bottleneck yes. If you want to avoid bottlenecking, try getting an i5 2500K... it overclocks like a beast.

the problem is that i haven`t got money :S so if i overclock the fx6100 to 3.7ghz or more will bottleneck?

You're better off with a Phenom II x4 or X6.
Seriously, they're THAT bad. The Phenom will be faster and more efficient.

I am a current owner of the exact same build you are planning on getting and you will not bottleneck It's not as bad as they say.
