AMD FX-8300 Possible GPU bottlenecking?

[MyNameIsAlex]

Hello. Trying to pimp out my friends rig on the cheap.

I am wondering what the best possible GPU a FX-8300 (presumbally on some shitty dell bios with no oc and a stock cooler) can handle at 1080p without bottlenecking the card.

Like if for example 980TI caused a bottleneck but the 1% slower 1070 had no bottleneck, then the 1070 is the card for us.

Any other recommendations? If he has no SSD I can pick up a white label micron 100gb for like, really cheap.

He is currently running a Radeon 6700 card with a 850mhz core clock, 1200mhz memory clock. Idk what card that is.

at 1080p as long as you're not looking for 144hz the gtx 1660(non ti), gtx 1060 6GB, rx 580/590 would be my go to suggestions if you want a newer generation card. those cards shouldn't have any issues with the 8300.. the only limitation in my opinion would be the power supply in that system, whether you want to keep the dell one or replace it since those pre-mades tend to have mediocre psu's. definitely grab an SSD as well, prices have dropped significantly and you can grab at 500GB for under 75 bucks.

Thanks. I guess I will ask him if he cares more about energy usage or power and go from there and pick a card.
