Hello. Im thinking of buying a new GC, Zotac GTX 760 Amp. Will my pc bottle neck? this is my spec

Motherboard - Asus Model P8H61 -M LE
Processor - Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10Ghz
RAM - 4GB DDR3
Graphics - Nvidia Geforce GT 440
PSU - BlueWolf 650W

My PC almost 2 years old by now. Any advice for upgrading? i really wanna play latest games at High setting.
Thanks.

I would still recommend the i5. But you could stagger the upgrades, meaning you could get the GPU now, then save some money and get the i5 later. The i3 + 7870 will be a heck of a lot better than the 440, and once you get the i5, it will be even better.

Yes the bottleneck will shift from the GPU to the CPU but you could get the card and then look at upgrading the processor to an Ivy-Bridge CPU as long as the motherboard supports it

That motherboard does not support Ivy Bridge, unfortunately.

Uhh i'm afraid of that. Coz i've only got a budget around 400$. Cant afford Proc and GC. How about HD 7870 series?
