i have a pc without GPU and i want to get a good one like the GTX 770 2GB, i know already that my PSU cant handle this card and ill get a new one.
my pc:
CPU: Intel Core I3 2100 3.10GHz
RAM:8gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-D2-M3
i dont know what my psu is but ill check later
now i have some questions:
will the cpu bottleneck the gpu?
what manufacturer should i get? i know gigabyte is the best but i want to know what else
can i trust newegg.com? i found there the card i want but im afraid to order from there cause its 400$
there's other store which can ship in the US? trustable store
Thank you very much :)

There will be a bottleneck in newer games that can fully multi core processors but HT helps in some rare cases. Also in most older games it will perform just fine like Skyrim and battlefield 3 campaing. Let's say that in recent games that are able to use multi core processor you will get 30fps with your i3 and about 45fps with a i5. But in overall you can have them fine... You can upgrade your processor down the road and you will have a perfectly balanced system.

You can trust newegg. but i would for sure get a better cpu like a 2500k atleast asuming you want to stay with intel.

another option would be to take an amd-cpu in consideration. its cheap, but also works really fine.
