I5-2320 bottleneck

[kevyn8000201]

well.I decided to be a little cheaper than usual and go with a less powerful desktop build and was wondering if the i5-2320 would bottleneck a gtx660ti or gtx670.Any replies would be helpful thanks a bunch in advance

I wouldn't say it would bottleneck either, but you would get a better performance difference getting a newer i5 like the 2500k or the 3470 and especially 3570k.

maybe no .. you can check in this : http://www.game-debate.com/gaming-pc/index.php?r_id=144797&cpu=Core%20i5-2320%203.0GHz&gpu=GeForce%20GTX%20660%20Ti%20Zotac%20AMP%20Edition&ram=8GB#gamingPCReport

No it won't. Sandybridge i5s of whatever speed are very, very fast. That specific model is as quick as the LGA1366 CPUs, and they're not considered as a CPU that would be a bottleneck yet.

hmm.k thx for your replies ^^ and i would love to get a i5 2500k but i ahve a pretty tight budget and well with my current build it is almost bursting it so i have to like stick with the previous gen i5 to reduce costs >.<
