Thank you, everyone seems to have their own issues with these mobos and to be honest I think they're trolling and trying to put me off.
Wouldn't that CPU severely bottleneck the GPU? Seeing as it's 4 years old?
Nope
Care to explain how it wouldn't?
Its a powerfull TRUE 4 core chip + i have bilt it before (i gave that pc to my dad a couple of months ago when his broke and wasent worth fixing he play hes cod games on it and i used if for dayz,farcry3,battlefield 3)
It allso is still on par with a FX 6100 (in fact its a little bit faster as i have a fx6100 in this computer and iam not likeing the fact its slower lol)
Phenom II x4 wont bottleneck 7950 (in majority of situations) but if you are buying a pc now you do not want to buy just a quad with that budget. Octa core is more future proof (specialy when they release nex gen consoles) 7950 is better than 7870xt (specialy OC-ing potential is better) but in this point you want a good cpu and a Mb, and you wont have the need to change 7870xt for at least 2 years...
