In my current pc i have a 7770 and an i3 processor and was looking to upgrade for games like BF4. The 7950 is about £210 atm and the 7870 about £140 so would the performance increase of the 7950 be bottle necked to much by an i3 or not? and which should i get?

As a side note i only have a 500w psu at the moment so will i need a new one for these cards?

For a 660 500w will be fine, but 550 or 600w would be needed for 760
