I was wondering if the i3 will bottle neck a GTX 750 ti 2g video card.
I plan to buy this for Warlord of draenor when it releases in November
or Should i spend a little more and get the 189 dollar core i5? I will sale my current GPU for 80 bucks
here or the system specs
Intel core i3 haswell Dual core 3.5 ghz lga 1150 54 wat psu
MSI z97 u3 pluse lga 1150 intel Mother board
Corsair carbide 400r graphite case
GTX 750 ti 2g 128 bit GDDR5 3.0 pci
Corsair 430 wat psu been good to me for 3 years so far Had no issues
8 gig of amd Gaming ram 1333

not necessarily you know as there arent much difference between 1gb of 1333mhz and 1gb of 1600mhz ..they produce really similar performance ..its good to upgrade the ram though but to be honest unless you go to like a 2400mhz you wont notice much of a difference

the cpu wont slow down the gpu that much but its more wise to just get the core i5 which will enable you to better handle newer games and cpu reliant programs ..focus on the cpu at this point then upgrade your psu in the future.. i know you didnt ask about the cpu but 430 watt aint gonna cut it very long

it should .. as pertaining to the answer above i really think you should get that core i5 as dual core aint managing games well anymore..

a dual core is ok for the WOW but it will struggle with call of duty ghost especially if you try playing at a 1080 resolution
