Hi,

I want to build a pc with these specs :

AMD 8120 FX cpu
GTX 660 TI
4*2 GB RAM
1TB HDD
750W PSU

Could I get bottlenecked of my graphic card's full potential because of the AMD processor?

Thanks,
Sameer

Yes, you could really. If you aren't prepared to switch to an intel motherboard and are stuck with AM3+, go with the FX-8350. Bear in mind, it's hot. You'll need after-market cooling.

And you don't need a PSU that powerful unless you're planning to SLI at some point. 600W is plenty. Make sure it's reputable supplier though.
