Would an AMD FX-4170 Bottleneck a 7950?

[GamingRealist]

Hey guys. I know i do have a similar topic up like this (Upgrading PC help) where we talked about some CPU's, but i thought i'd start a new one.

Anyway; i'm upgrading my PC and i am going to get an AMD Radeon HD 7950 Graphics card and an AMD FX-4170 4.2GHz.
Would this CPU bottleneck the high-performance 7950?

I don't want to get an Intel CPU - as they are too expensive and my mobo doesn't support Intel.
So what are your suggestions? Is there also any other good AMD CPU's? Will the combination of the two upgrades be good for gaming?


Cheers lads.

Hmm, what about if i just buy a motherboard and an I5 2500K and keep my 560TI?

Also guys, how about a Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition?
