should i be worried or no

nope, best buddies in the mid range gaming camp

Well, if your biggest worries in the world would be if your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU then you are a blessed man.
It may be bottlenecking a bit, but I think you can solve it by overclocking your processor a bit. Still, you will hardly see the effect.

does that mean i can get my new GPU by no worries at all ?

laviniuc · Dec 17, 2013

no. it means you dont need to worry about the cpu bottlenecking it. there can be issues with the psu not having enough power for the card. you would need a 5-600W psu at least

You may experience a little bit of bottle-necking from AC 4...but it will let you run the game at higher settings.
The rest...your I3 will eat alive.

You can't really over clock the I3. It is not unlocked like the K versions of the I5 and I7.

Master-flaw :

huh , does that mean im damaging my CPU and it may cost life ?

No...it means your framerate won't be as high as if you had an I5...
Go for it...it'll be a worthwhile upgrade.

Master-flaw :

im kind of broke with budget , i'll for sure upgrade CPU later on , thanks
and the options will be a I5 or fx 8350

rds1220 · Dec 17, 2013

If the main purpose is gaming the I5 is better.

rds1220 :

also can this MB work with my I3 and after buying my GPU
i already have CPU and MB http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000562
if not tell me wich one should i buy , thanks
ill upgrade to i5 as soon as i make some budget

rds1220 · Dec 17, 2013

That is the older socket 1155 motherboard. If you got that you would have to get an older Sandy Bridges CPU. You want to get a socket 1150 motherboard if you want to go with the latest Haswell CPU's.

yea if you end up upgrading your CPU grab a 3570(don't spend the extra on the K model your MoBo won't overclock)...check to see if you need a BIOS upgrade...it should work with IVy just fine as long as your BIOS is compatible.

rds1220 :

i mean can it handle just for now , so after i get budget ill upgrade GPU and MB or i need something else please give me some options
by all said i dont know if you understood me i have i3 2120 and this MB , just wanted to get new GPU and thought if it will fit or i have to upgrade MB aswell thanks

for later on ill up CPU and MB when i get budget

rds1220 · Dec 17, 2013

Yes it will handle it.
