3570k can bottleneck in future?

A pair of HD 7970 GPUs would need a serious workload to bottleneck an Ivy Bridge i5. If you are going to overclock then don't worry about it. IMHO overclock the i5-3570k to an effortless 4.5GHz and call it done. Add your second GPU when you see fit.

EDIT: Don't forget an aftermarket CPU cooler if you are going to overclock.

best answer,end of the thread!

Good god, you people are pushy. Perhaps he wants more opinions...

Even the older and weaker chips such as the amd phenom ii x4 965 isn't having too much trouble running these newer cards. You shouldn't have any problems with bottlenecks at least until 3 years...perhaps even longer.

The stock cooler will keep temps in check if you are NOT overclocking. You might get to an overclock of 4GHz before heat becomes an issue with the stock cooler (this also depends on case fans and airflow through the case). It is just safe to add an aftermarket cooler now. $30ish goes a long ways to keeping temps down in both cases (overclocking or not).

The CPU is just fine. I have the same one with a gigabyte z77x-d3h works great. With 1 card, stock speed of this CPU is fine, with CF or SLI just go up to 4.0GHz and see how it goes, try 4.4GHz and see if there's a big difference, if not lower the CPU no need to keep it all the way up...
