Will a gtx 670/7970 bottleneck?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
My current system;
Intel i5 650
6gb ddr3 ram 1333hz
sapphire 6870
I'm looking to improve perfomance in WoW and Bf3 Would like 60 + fps on max settings. Money is not a issue so I could upgrade my cpu if i need but i only play games so with a better card would i likley see the performance I am after.
Another this is my psu is a coolermaster gx 450 with 35a @ 12v rail so i should be fine running the gtx 670 however i would have to upgrade psu to use a 7970 as the 7970 and gtx 670 are the same price would it be worth me upgrading psu?

You would not be o.k. to run the 670 or 7970.That psu is known as garbage, not reliable.Upgrade that first.I recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-GX... It's decent psu the only one in the gx range. A 6870 takes 150w tdp and a gtx 670 takes 170 tdp (http://www.hwcompare.com/12549/geforce-gtx-670-vs-radeo...) However If I am to upgrade my psu i might aswel pick up the 7970 as it's a better card.

^ +1 - absolutely new PSU to run either of those cards with your rig.
bigcyco's link is gr8 if you have the $$, it's an outstanding valu at that price.
I have that PSU in my sys and very glad I do.
That coolermaster is much better built than most with surprisingly good components,
just that their reputation is so bad, maybe they are turning a new leaf.
I would still upgrade it for either of those 2 cards tho.
Quality 550w to 620w would be fine (even 650w)

Will this psu be sufficient enough to run either one of these cards?
