So after a while thinking i finally decided that im getting a msi TwinFrozr GTX 960. The thing now is that i have two doubts.

A: My pc is running a Intel Core i3 4130, and a GIGABYTE B85M-D3H motherboard, i would like to know if these somehow will bottleneck the GTX 960 and if so, how much will it lower its performance.

B: I've been really into buying the Corsair CX750M, but in most of my friends rigs i see they own a CX600M and they have no problem with it. Should i instead go for the cx600? For not so distant future i'm planning to run this:

  • Intel Core intel core i5 4590
    8GB ram
    GTX 960
    Razer abyssus mouse
    Razer blackwidow chroma

So i wanted to know if the cx 600 is enough to keep all of that running.
All the answers are appreciated

I'd rather go with a 760, due to:

Significantly better 3DMark06 score|24,480 vs 10,683|More than 2.2x better 3DMark06 score

Higher memory bandwidth|192.3 GB/s vs 96 GB/s|More than 2x higher memory bandwidth

Higher texture rate|94.1 GTexel/s vs 72.1 GTexel/s|More than 30% higher texture rate

Significantly higher crysis 3 framerate|58.7 fps vs 36.1 fps|Around 65% higher crysis 3 framerate

More texture mapping units|96 vs 64|32 more texture mapping units

Wider memory bus|256 bit vs 128 bit|2x wider memory bus
