Is my build good for gaming for a 700$ budget?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dZ2C4D

This is my build. I checked gamedebate for the graphics card and processor both are great but the recommended cpu for the graphics card is not the one I chose. Would my cpu quote "bottleneck" My Graphics card or vice versa?

You probably should mention you wanted a hackintosh... as A. the license is illegal. and B. Mac OS has nothing to do with gaming

Your CPU won't bottleneck it but that's a really week GPU.

The graphics card is ok for some med gaming, but by no means a top level gaming card, not even close. It's a budget card, and with that, comes budget gaming.
