So from what i understanmd i can use the A10-8750 with my current motherboard without need of replacement AND use a 970 without any bottlenecking.

A10-8750 is still low-end CPU. It will bottleneck GTX 970.

So i update to the f7 BIOS then buy a A10-7890k so the 970 wouldnt be bottlenecked. Is that corrrect?

Any FM2+ CPU will bottleneck GTX 970. They are low-end dual-core (4 logical cores) CPUs by desing.

this thread is driving me nuts i dont see why you would purchase a a10-7890k for a marginal improvement over a 750k.. oc the 750k and run with a r9 380x for in between 960-970 performance..

and those benchmarks are terrible stating that a a10-7890k is waayy better than fx-8350 8.9 total vs 5.7 for fx-8350 simply not the case in newer games... also states fx 8350 is same performance as 750k (5.7 vs 5.6) and gives general performance of 7890k better than 8350

Ok now im confused so ill try to start again. Will the A10-7890K bottleneck a R9 380x?

here is 7850k with r9 380
7890 will do ok with r9 380x but i have a very hard time recommending a new 7890k over a 750k.. if you set on doing it at least get a 880k and save on the integrated graphics which you dont need but if that were mine id upgrade gpu+oc cpu

what gpu are u running now?

[Revacane]

Radeon 7770

id recommend a gpu upgrade for sure its your call with cpu but its a good chunk of money for a new cpu with a little improvement over the 750k

big difference in price for identical performance... but again if it were mine id oc 750k to 4+ghz as these cpus wont see much benefit much over 4ghz

oced 880k little difference from stock

So the A10-7850K with either a radeon 380x or a GTX 970 is the best combo?

[_I_]

get the best gpu you can afford and save up for a better cpu/mobo/ram combo

OP's computer upgradability is very limited. We don't evenn know which PSU he has, but I guess it would be best for him to sell his current computer and buy new one. Its very difficult to make more or less gaming rig from FM2+.
