Hi there,

Given how hardware is constantly being released and upgraded, I had the idea to upgrade my PC based off older hardware I can buy 2nd hand. I am currently running an old LGA 1156 socket i5 and GTX 660 graphics card. I'm not sure if there is a bottleneck going on here but it is slow for what I am doing - GPU rendering, 3D modelling etc. What I have found online are these components:

- Asrock P67 Extreme4
- Intel Core i7 3770 Quad Core
- dual GTX 680

These are not the latest components but I think are comparable in age. Do you guys see any potential bottlenecking issues? Assuming PSU, RAM etc are fine, would there be anything limiting the speed of these components? Thoughts/comments more than welcome! :)

* I'm not that fused about SLI for these GFX cards, they are just for CUDA power basically.
