Hi,

I've seen a number of such topics, where people asked about the bottleneck. I know it can be tested with the hardware. But I don't have the GPU - I have only CPU and am wondering if buying such a GPU will be a good idea, I don't want it to be limited by my CPU. Could you help, please? Thank you in advance!

CPU: Intel, 1st gen, i7, model 870, 2.93Ghz, 8MB cache
GPU: MSI GTX 970

Will this work alright or I have to buy another CPU? Again - I don't have the video card, just the CPU and asking more advanced users. Thanks!
