I was wondering if a Intel Core i5-650 would bottleneck a MSI Radeon HD 7870 OC. People have told me that the i5-650 could really run anything at my resolution, but I don't know about CPU because its only a dual core. But i found a video on YouTube about the cores you need for gaming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4PDoy-mi0A
But then again he is running a newer processor and I don't know if that's going to make much of a difference, and i was hoping some of you guys in this forum could tell me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20 Ghz
P7H55 PRO Motherboard
8GB of ram @ 1333mhz
1TB Seagate barracuda 7200RPM
Cooler Master i500 (80 plus bronze, with two 6 pin)
500W power supply
1280x1024 monitor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if i did get a new 1440x900 or 1980x1080 monitor, would i then get some bottlenecking?
Thanks in advance
