Hi everyone!
NVidia just released its new GTX 970, which I want to buy in the near future. My current PC Spec is the following:
AM3 Athlon2 X4 645 (4x3.1GHz)
1333MHz DDR3 Kingston CL9 RAM (4096MB)
ASUS M5A78L-M LX (Mainboard)
600W LC-Power (Power Supply)
AMD HD6570 Powercolor 1GB DDR3 (Graphics Card)
and some really really old HDD..
I want to buy the GTX 790 now, upgrade to 8GB RAM and buy a 250GB SDD. My question:
Will the Motherboard and the CPU be good enough for the GTX 790 or will it be like a bottleneck for it? I would really appreciate some answers, thanks in advance !
