i5 3570K bottleneck two 7950s

Solution
A i5 3570k will bottleneck depending on games those two 7950s only if you game al low resolution.
@ 1080p or higher resolution or ultra maximum graphics settings no way a 3570k can bottleneck your 7950s
Even if some days it does you can always overclock the CPU make it run faster.
No worries, Enjoy
EDIT:
You need to change the psu to something better like a TX750 CX750 or XFX750 watt.
It can power but not reliable for long run, Coolermaster psus are not the best to be honest
Thanks

I will be at 1080p always and I will try to Max every game (hence two 7950s) but 3.8 is the highest I can go on my CPU 
MOBO doesn't support any higher

What mobo is it? Does it not allow you to change your multiplier?

I think your PSU is fine ... and as far as the i5 holding back 2xHD7950s, who cares? :lol:
You will still get exceptional scaling in most games.

Ah thats a shame, but even at 3.8 you will get good performance, its a great CPU.
Plus in the future you can grab a different mobo from ebay and get some more performance out of it by clocking it to 4.3+ if you have a good cooler.

im sorry...just remind him when he raises his multiplyer hell need a quality psu. I took it that hes all good and oc the rig with no changes.
keep in mind though that when OC'ing all cpu's are different. no one can stae that "you will get this OC from that chip"

2xHD7950s in X-Fire pull around 350 watts at load. Your rig, even with the i5 at 3.8GHz, should not consume 600w.
You should, however, check your PSU for 'ripple' OCCT used to chart ripple in their stability test -- not sure if current versions still do ...
