I am building my first custom made Pc. I have a Intel boxdb85fl LGA 1150 mother board with a PCI Express 3.0 x16 expansion slot and a intel i5 4440 for my CPU. I am choosing between a Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 TI BOOST 2gb or a GTX 660.
So will my processor or motherboard limit the power of my Graphics card?
Also which is more bang for the buck the 660 or 650 Ti Boost 2gb?
(I'm going to want to play rome total war 2 and Battlefield 4 at a decent fps)
 
Solution
No, your board/cpu are way more than enough for a mid grade card, you'd be fine running a couple high end card with that setup, so don't worry about that.
