GTX 1070 and AMD FX-6300

[Xander_5]

So I am planning to buy a GTX 1070 specifically this one: (http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127955&cm_re=gtx_1070-_-14-127-955-_-Product)

Before i buy this, i wanted to know if i can use my old AMD FX-6300(my current CPU) for a little while with the 1070 until i save up enough for a AMD FX-8350.

It would be amazing if someone could help me with this. Thank you

Yes.

And you can get quite a bit of extra grunt out of the FX6300 by overclocking it ...

No ... incorrect.

The OP gave the best answer to the wrong poster.

I am trying to have that changed.
