Hi guys,

I wanted to ask if my i5-3350P CPU will be enough to get the full potential out of two EVGA GTX 760's.
I've enabled the turbo boost from the bios, and when i'm gaming the cpu is running at 3.3GHz.
Right now i have the MSI Z68A-G43 mainboard, and a 520W psu.
I'm planning to buy a new mainboard ( ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional-M ) it's a Micro-ATX board because i'm planning to put it in my new Micro-ATX case. Also i want to upgrade my psu to a Corsair 650W or 750W.

Do you guys think my CPU will be good enough? Or is a upgrade necessary? I'm tight on budget.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

WIth that board you should be able to set the multi to 35 and get 3.5 ghz out of it (its where I have mine running in a Z77 board) I still have the stock cooler on my cpu and it doesn't get above 72 during prime run, never above 55 gaming. I think its plenty of CPU to run them.

Thank you for your response! Are you also planning to buy a additional GPU, or are you happy with the current setup? In my case most new games are running at very high/ ultra. But i want a additional card just in case for the future.
