Hi everyone,
Tomshardware was one of my fav site to find reviews about hardware. :) Now pls help me out.

My PC specs:
MB: ASrock G41M-le
Ram: 2GB DDR2 800mhz transcend
Processor: Intel Dual core 2.5 Ghz (E2500)
HDD: 2 TB seagate
Power Supply: 500w cooler master
Monitor: Microstar 16 inch ( max resol : 1366x768)


I am planning to by a graphic card (ASUS GTX 650 ti). Since the GPU is a mid-high end card, i am afraid tat it would get bottlenecked to a larger extent.

I just want to play games with 30+ FPS in 1366x768 resolution, cos its the max supported by my monitor. (AC4, Watch Dogs)

If i get a bottleneck problem, how much performance of my GPU will be reduced. Will this harm my MB and processor.

If some have already had this setup, pls provide some FPS test of some games.

Pls help me out guys. I am totally confused whether if it worth if i buy tat card.
 
Solution
it will give you more that %70, you will only face issues with next gen games.
anyway, get this card now, and upgrade your CPU later when you can.
and don't worry, the major factor in gaming is the GPU.

I m not worried about my spec to meet the games mini requirement. Pls tell me wheather GPU will work atleast 70% of its performance..

I believe thats more than enough for me to play some older games at maxed out settings .. with my max resolution (1366x768).

Let me know ur views..

Sure tat i will be buying a New MB (ASUS high end) and processor (i5) over a buget of $320, by next 4 months.

I was waiting for 750ti, for a very long itme. but since its not up, i planned to go for this 650 ti. I am going for ASUS as others recommended.

Thanks for ur help. :)
