I currently have the following setup
i7 960 clocked @ 3.4GHz
ASUS P6T motherboard
ATI radeon 5870
2 x 3 x 2GB OCZ Platinum 1333MHz 7-7-7-20 RAM
Seagate 1TB harddrive, 500GB harddrive
Corsair HX750W Power Supply
Running a single monitor at 1920x1200 resolution.
The fan on my graphics card is completely shot, so I will be replacing the card sometime soon.
I want to know if my CPU will bottleneck the newest generation GPUs such as the GTX770, i.e., will I have to replace my CPU and motherboard as well to get the benefit out of upgrading?
This is primarily a gaming PC. I understand that for other uses the CPU upgrade will be significant, I am mainly interested in the gaming performance for the purposes of this thread.
