Hi guys,i just wanna check whether having a lower end quad core psu will lower the performance of this newer gfx card? I'm planning to get a msi p45 platinum motherboard and overclock it to 3ghz and hopefully more.Hope i can get my answer,thank you!

In short, no.

Depends on the resolution you plan to play at. 1680x1050 might be cutting it close in terms of a bottleneck, but anything above it'll be fine.

agreed

assuming ur playing relatively new games, the cpu wont bottleneck ur video card if ur gaming on a resolution of about 1680x1050 or above (especially with AA on).
