Will my CPU bottleneck my GPU

[cragsify]

Simple question that I need answered, does anyone know if a 7950 OC'd will be bottlenecked by and i3-3220 and if I should switch to a 7870 LE and an i5?

Also, does anyone know any cheap cases with a large enough space for the 7950 with good enough cooling?

If you are worried about bottlenecking, get an AMD FX 6300, since for around the same price of the i3, it can be overclocked to get rid of bottlenecks. Of course, you do need a good cooler, like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, but you can add that in later as you do not need to overclock right away. The bottlenecks overall will not be that significant.

That psu isn't at that price it goes for the corsair CX, you can have the i5 and the 7950 with crysis 3 and bioshock all under 700£.
