Hi, i have been searching trough the internet for this but i couldn't find helpful answer. So my qesiton is: Is Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Windforce 2GB compatible and will it run well with my PC? My specs are: CPU-Intel Core i5-750 2,67 GHZ, 4GB RAM - 1333MHz, Power supply - Everest 80plus 700-700W, Motherboard-Asus P7P55D. Thanks for the answer in advance! :) Oh and something else, will my cpu bottleneck the GTX 760? :)

Yes, it'll work just fine. As it's an older motherboard it only has PCIE 2 slots (graphics card is PCIE 3), it'll still work there just may be a slight drop in performance. I'm not sure on numbers, but I wouldn't imagine it's too noticable with a card like that. It would be more noticable with a more powerful card.
