Hello guys, second post but i check this site very often. I have an important question

SPECS:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78LM-S2H
CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 925 at 2,80 GHz
GPU: ATI RADEON HD 5670
RAM: 4,00 gb ddr2
Power supply: 600W
Windows 7 64-bit system
1360x720 resolution (using)

Recently, my GPU died and i am thinking to replacing it with a new HD GPU Radeon 7770. I dont know many about motherboards/CPUs but will my Motherboard or even CPU can 'bottlenet' this new GPU?

Also will this GPU will run smooth with my hardware parts?
Thanks in advance :)

^ To add to Tradesman: your processor will be bottlenecking the GPU a bit, but you'll still get better performance than what you have now. If you want to upgrade your CPU later, you'll have to upgrade your motherboard as well because all the new AMD processors are AM3+ and your motherboard only supports AM3 standard. Other than that the graphics card will work fine with your setup.

Thanks for your answers :) I recently found out that gtx 650 ti is better than hd radeon 7770 for the same budjet and i am thinking to purchase gtx 650 ti than 7770. Will it be better for my spec and will it work normally as it should to? (bottleneck, enough plugs for motherboard or something?) I am currently in dilemma between these 2 and i want to choose the best for my pc.
Thanks in advance!
