im buying this card tomorrow...but heard that the AMD Athlon II X2 240 may bottleneck the Sapphire 7750 1GB GDDR5.
is that right ? and if it is , will it decrease the GPU's performance greatly ?

 
Solution

i'd get the x3 cause you get more cache than the x4 but you do lose a core but you have 3 cores compared to your 2 cores at the min its you choice if you get a x4 you could step up to a 7790 at the max

Grab a 7770 if you can it'll play them games alot better than a 7750 and the athlon II is a great cpu for both the 7750 & 7770

if you grab a II x3 you should improve performance only 50 bucks instead of blowing 100 on a decent quad

Yeah you right .. Well i will try to bought an quad core Athlon II x4 640 just for GTX 650 and when i next time upgrade GPU i will to Upgrade Cpu :) Off topic do you know an good website which sells Hardware parts and which ship to all Europe Country's ?
 
The Quad would be a good choice. The GTX650 is not a quick card though. You might want to save up until you can get a nice processor and card.

If you want, you can get the card first, and then upgrade the processor later if you find it insufficient.
