i5 2500 non k bottleneck

Solution
I don't really think it'd really bottleneck any single GPU today, should pair nicely even with the upcoming 780 Ti.
Bottlenecks technically always exist, but that 2500 should be fine with any single gpu
. The i5 2500 is still one of the better gaming CPUs around.
That PSU has two 12v rails at 30A each so any single GPU should be fine, ideally a 280x/7970 would be a great choice

the 2500 non k can still be overclocked 4 bins higher (400mhz more) by raising the multiplier.
The 2500 still isnt really bottlenecking any single GPU cards.
Depending on your budget, I would go for a gtx 770 or 280x. much more will be a struggle for your PSU.

with much respect to the previous post, bottleneck does exist. Try pairing a celeron (or something slow) to a high end card, i know it's an exaggeration but it's just an example.
2500 is decent (i have a 2500k @4ghz), and usually games tend to use the GPU more, in effect having the gpu @~100% usage while the cpu is not at 100. For example, on bf3 multiplayer, my 4ghz sits at around 70% while my 670 is already at max utilization. And bf3 loves cpu. So for my part, the GPU is the bottleneck. But its ok since i cannot afford (or dont want to spend more) for a gpu

Who are you referring to? I dont see anyone saying bottleneck doesnt exist.

I think he's referring to kelvin08113
There would only be a tiny miniscule bottleneck with that i5, no need to drag in an example about a celeron and a high end GPU into this.

This is the board i have, otherwise i would be very content if i could get a r9-280x or even a r9 290 without other components keeping it down
