fx 6100 bottleneck?

[tna135]

im entering a contest to win a sapphire 7970 and i was wandering if my cpu will be a bottleneck? i have the fx 6100 at 4.5ghz.

it will bottleneck due to poor single core performance as todays games are more cpu intensive

it would probably still bottleneck the 7970, not by much though since its overclocked. I would reccomend entering the contest and then getting a more powerful cpu like a 8350 or wait for the newer piledriver cpus to come out
