Will Intel Core2Quad Q8400 Bottle Neck a GTX760?

Hi, I'm planning to purchase a Palit GTX760 JetStream 2GB.

With my current processor Intel Q8400. Will it bottle neck Palit GTX760 JetStream 2GB?

I will be coming from GT440. My plan of upgrading to newer Intel processor will still be next year. Is it better to upgrade first to a better processor now or upgrade first my GPU?

Thanks!

Its a pretty weak CPU - http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core2-Quad-Q8400-vs-AMD-FX-4100

It'd be marginal.

You will see a bottleneck with that CPU paired with that GPU. You may want to think of an upgrade before using the 760. You may be better off with a 750 but the issue with that is if you ever want to upgrade you are going to have to do the entire system later down the road. With the current CPU go with a 750 because you will not be able to squeeze the full potential out of the 760.

Thanks! Timball760!

Will just go with 750Ti. I'll be upgrading next year any way, and I'm just playing SC2, NFS games and Street Fighter X Tekken on GT440. No FPS games. I'm just asking since I'm already seeing slow down when playing NFS Most Wanted with my GT440....
