Hey guys. Im building my first gaming Rig and so far I have
Antec 300 case with 5 fans on it
G Skill Ares 8 gig 1866
Radeon HD 7870
Power Supply ???
Cpu thinking the Phenome ii x4 965 BE
1 T HDD
with windows 7
what my question is will the Phenom 965 BE bottleneck my graphics card? I wanna play as many games as I can on the highest settings but dont want to regret going with the Phenom CPU. my CPU budget is about 130 with nothing higher. Im not really looking to upgrade in the future and will most likely just keep the system how it is for the duration that I have it, so I want the best bang for my buck CPU for gaming a a little video editing here and there. I have looked at the i3 CPU but dont know if I want to pay more because I honestly have little knowledge. I plan on OC the CPU to 3.8 once I get it. thanks for any feedback ahead of time
