Is a i3-2120 and GTX 660 Ti a bottleneck?

[Gladmir]

I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU and Motherboard (Haswell) and wondering if the upgrade would benefit me in games?

Right now its the combo deal:
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=19-116-899
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-130-693

Clearly I have a i3-2120 and a EVGA GTX 660 Ti.

I love gaming.

it can be. in multithreaded apps your i3 will be an issue. Generally though, unless you're stressing your i3 now (like in crysis3 or farcry 3 or something like WoW) you won't really notice a huge performance increase by going to that haswell.

It will be there... particularly if you overclock a bit... but yeah... it will come down to which titles you play now if you'll notice an obvious performance difference.
