Hey guys, I'll try and keep this short sweet and to the point, and my apologies if this post is in the wrong place, still new to these forums.
Current System Specs:
Motherboard: Bio-star T series (TZ68K+)
CPU: i5-2300 2.8 GHz
RAM: 4gb (Can't remember the brand 100% but I believe it's Ripjaw and I will be adding more here soon.)
GPU: GTX 460
PSU: Thermaltake TR2-600W
HDD: 2TB 7200rpm from Western Digital
It's also probably worth mentioning that I play on a single monitor at 1920x1080 resolution and I have no intentions of delving into Crossfire anytime soon.
Now my question is this; I've had my GPU for a while and I figured with next gen gaming on the horizon with PS4 and Xbox One that it might be a good time for me to upgrade. The GPU I was looking at was the XFX Radeon HD 7950 Black 3GB.

I'm wondering if there is anything in my rig that is going to bottleneck the 7950. I figured only have 4gb of RAM would, but i'll be ordering some more along with the GPU to at LEAST bump it up to 8gb, it just depends on where i'm sitting money-wise at the time that I go ahead and order it. My main concern was my processor and motherboard, seeing as I got those a couple years ago.
Any suggestions or observations would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
