G840 + 7850 = Bottleneck ?

[YesImAfroJack]

I wasn't sure whether to ask in the graphics card section or the CPU section , so i'll just post here.

so my question is , would the intel g840 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-386-IN&tool=3

bottleneck the AMD 7850 graphics card ?

i ask because i may be getting the intel pentium as a temporary CPU until i can afford an IB i5 and then use the intel Pentium in the PC i'm building for a friend. ( i haven't told him , but i'm sure he won't mind my usage ^_^ )

I'd imagine it would but not to a huge degree really. Depends which games are in question.

Basically the answer is yes but most games are gpu dependent , there is a sweet spot when it comes to gaming and cpu choice.

As a stop gap then so be it.
