Hello
I recently got a very very hot deal on a GTX 670 for 50€ (35.85£) from a friend, who is pretty rich and has like 3 or 4 Quad SLI Setups, but he recently bought a Quad SLI 980 Setup and he is selling one of his 670s (fully functional btw.)
BUT
the thing is that i don't have a suitable computer atm for the GTX 670, i only got a crap
Pentium Dual Core E5300 (OC'd to 3.2 Ghz)
8gb of 533mhz Corsair Ram
1TB HDD
Be Quiet PurePower L8 630w
and I don't really have the money to upgrade my CPU+Mobo+Ram, but i can get a Core 2 Quad q8300(which i'm going to oc) for like 20£
My question is, how much of an bottleneck will i face with the E5300 and will the Q8300 be a better option in terms of gaming performance?
Will i face worse bottlenecking with the E5300 or with the Q8300 (which i will oc to, i don't know, 3.0 or 3.1 GHz)
Yours sincerely
