the fx will bottleneck it for sure, although it has 8 cores (not really cores but amd's hyperthreading) it still loses to like say an i5 because of it cpu architecture and IPC if you wan an amd machine you can get the new fx 8350 and overclock it but i think it might botleneck

Well i thought bottle necking was for older processor's, from when intel had huge problems, with all the new tech i was led to believe it's a thing of the past ????????
