Hello, I'm am looking a GPU upgrade and possibly an CPU, motherboard RAM upgrade as well.
I have a old lenovo prebuilt system - 2006 model with an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4000+ Brisbane 95w processor and currently running a Radeon HD 7750 by XFX. I do not like the performance of this particular configuration and it is too late for me to return the HD 7750 and my Antec VP-450 power supply. I'm looking at an upgrade to the Radeon HD 7870 to notch better performance but I'm severly concerned of a cpu bottle-necking problem. Is this a problem?
Thank you very much.
