I use an i3-2130 and have never experienced bottleneck issues. It uses 2 cores and 4 threads with a frequency over 3ghz. Sandy bridge is powerful too. They aren't ideal in the eyes of somebody who hardcore games. But it won't bottleneck that's for sure.

It probably would bottleneck. That's 2 generations old and a dual core i3. Also GTX 770 > GTX 680. Cheaper, newer and better.
Well now I have one person saying it wouldnt and one saying it would.
And also GTX 680 is $250 on amazon, and GTX 770 is like $310-400 ._.

This is the GTX 680 Im planning on buying..

Sorry for the late reply, check on speccy, link for the download is here :
Then look at the motherboard section, I doubt it will tell you your chipset, but you just need to know your motherboards name, then google search for it and look at the specifications listen on the manufacturers website.

yeah it is the only option I'm aware of. Just unplug everything and remove the side panel, it should only take three minutes. when it's open look for a box in the upper corner, a box where your power adapter used to connect to. Write down any information, then put the case back on, plug it back in and report back here. REMEMBER, do not touch the insides, if you want to touch them, put your hands on the metal brackets on the outline of the case. good luck.
Wow, thanks for that chart.
Your very helpful Lemis, thanks to you, I know exactly what graphics card i will be planning on getting, and ill be able to pc game again!
EDIT- One question though, how is the GTX 690 better then every graphics card? ._.
