Hello there, community.
So, I've recently built my gaming PC (it was more like a budget one) about 3/4 months ago and I'm planning on upgrading all its parts (after gathering a good amount of money), one of them being the GPU. I'm leaning towards the GTX 670 and I'll be mainly playing Battlefield 3, Farcry 3 and Borderlands 2 on Ultra settings at 1080p. So, my question is, will I bottleneck the GTX 670 with my i5 3570 (bear in mind, it's the non-K version)?
Here's my PC:
-OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1;
-CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.40GHz (Boost up to 3.80GHz);
-RAM: 8,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (Upgrading to the G.Skill 8 GB RAM 2133MHz or the Corsair Vengeance Performance 1600MHZ once I get the GTX 670);
-Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8H61-M LX3 PLUS (LGA1155) (Upgrading to the P8Z77-V LX once I get the 670);
-GPU: 1024MB nVidia GeForce GT 220 (CardExpert Technology);
-HDD: 149GB Western Digital WDC WD1600JS-60MHB5 ATA Device (SATA) (Upgrading to the Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue 7200rpm 64MB SATA III 3.5 once I get the 670 as well);
-Power Supply: Freestyle 60 600 Watts (Upgrading to a Corsair CX750 750W power supply as well)
I'm sorry for the long post but I would like to know exactly if I would be bottlenecking the new GPU with my CPU. Thank you.
