What is the best (best bang for your buck) AMD processor for gaming that won't bottleneck my gtx 970?
And yeah I know, I should've gotten Intel

I don't fukk with AMD, so I have no idea.
@Liquid and @NotoriousJerry do, or have in the past, so they might know

the 6 core fx-6300 is a pretty decent cpu for around 110.00 $ it should do well with a 970.
6300 is starting to show its age. Sucks you just asked today, newegg had the 8300 with hitman for $100.
I would recommend the 8350 if you can stretch, problem is once you reach $150 you might as well add another $25 or so for a low end haswell i5
@Tunez buy it at jet.com for 15% off ($30 max off)

Yea this pretty much the issue if you dabble with the eight core cpu amd has then you might as well get a lower end i5 which is miles better.6300 is starting to show its age. Sucks you just asked today, newegg had the 8300 with hitman for $100.

There is nothing wrong with a nice midrange AMD setup
Y'all spoiled
Started with a fx-8320 and a R9 270x.
Humble beginnings.
This 970 tho now. Finna upgrade to Intel soon.
If you're going AMD you should wait until the new processors come out with SMT (Hyper Threading)
We made it
We thought Kaveri and Bulldozers would play our games on max...
Now we build Core i5 and 980 Ti systems for a couple of stacks

I'm not quite there yet breh
We building up over time tho for sure.
Went from that super budget build with a Rosewill Challenger case to a H440, a 970, some more ram, and now figuring out if I want an i5 or i7(Decisions decisons, the Porsche or the Range?).
The come up has been spectacular tho. Steve to Stephan.
