I'm planning to get a GTX 550 ti, and i wanted to know How much of a bottleneck would i get?, and will overclocking the cpu help?
on modern games?
your 2 core is not enough to run most games
and the games it can run, would be heavily held back
would make a decent pair with a quad core am3 processor
if you posted with complete system specs and the specific games you want to play, plus your budget I am sure people could help you find the best possible path to get playable
