System specs:
Amd Phenom IIx4 960T 3.0 Ghz - unlocked 2 cores OCd @ 3.7 Ghz (6 cores)
Asus M5A97 AM3+ mobo
Gigabyte 6850 OC edition Running at Manufacturers settings
8 GB Hyper X Ram (Quad Channel) 1333mhz
Antec Green 500W PSU
Hard drives
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card for the upcoming next gen games. I would like to stay @ $300 or below, from Newegg or other AMD Reward Approved sites.
I am nervous because my PCI-e are 2.0 and I am afraid my CPU will bottleneck a new graphics card. Will it? Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.
Second Question:
Will i get better graphics transferring the Gigabyte 6850 (replacing a 6770) in the following build:
Amd Athlon IIx4 3.0ghz ( I can overclock but only if necessary because I will have to buy a cooler, if it will increase fps that is an option)
Gigabyte A5-DS22 mobo
4GB Corsair Value Select Ram 1300mhz
Sapphire HD 6770
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
