Gtx 570 sli

[thegameon]

Hello, I'm going to get another gtx
570 to sli my system but i was wondering if the cpu will bottleneck the gpus i have i5 750 3.8ghz 8gb ram and 750w gx cooler master ps

Actually, bottlenecking depends on the software. What software are you planning to run?

PSU should be fine I think.

mostly games there will be almost no editing videos and pictures, and my rams are the stock ones i just overclocked them so they are not after market ones that kinda worries me too but i didnt have any trouble with them stock speed was 1333mhz and now they are almost 1600mhz

What resolution do you play at?

Well, if you are at single 1080p and content with our performance, there is no need of upgrading the GPU, invest in the Motherboard+CPU+RAM combo instead.

no it won't with that sick clock on the i5-750, your just fine.
and if specifically gaming then there is no need to upgrade, period.
there are threads here on Tom's the state and prove the i5-750/760 clocked to 3.4GHz or higher
as well as the older i7's (860-880) not including the LGA 1366; when gaming only is concerned...
no need to upgrade.

I just did upgrade my i5-760 @ 3.52GHz because I got like almost 80% of original price when I built unit.
sold the mobo, RAM and CPU.
so if you can sell (if you want to) and get enough money to upgrade platform then the choice is up to you.
otherwise I wouldn't.

what about the rest of the unit, have SSD.?

dont have ssd but friends recommended apparently its crazy fast for laoding up and saving and stuff

so youre sayin dont buy another gtx 570 ? i know its a killer card i get 60+ plus in any game excpet mafia 2 and metro but sli is always good im pretty sure within next year 2 570s will be barely enough cuz pci 3.0 is comin out and they have double the bandwidth and games are gona be more intense on gpu then ever

i would like to sell it for 80% percent of the price i built it for or more but i donno where i can sell it u know, i heard 2500k is a really good cpu and i wanna pair it with gtx590 that would be amazing
