Hey guys  :)

my current pc specs are :-
core 2 duo e4500 2.20 ghz
4gb ddr3 corsair ram
Asus P8H61 mobo
400 watt psu with the gpu 6pin connector connector

and im gonna buy a gtx550ti in a couple of days , so umm will my cpu be bottleneck my gpu ?
if yes than will overclocking it to 2.60ghz help ?

ill be buying a sandy bridge i5 processor next month so im gonna need a temporary solution

Thanks

anything dual core these days will most likely bottleneck on newer games

Azi:
Yes, it will "bottleneck". Also Overclocking will help out. Though play it safe, rather bear with low fps than frying your CPU.

Also, is that PSU good enough for both I5 and the new card? I'm not good at wattage couting.

Osme:
getting the 2500k... goodman, goodman. if its only a temp solution, youll be fine, but it will tend to bottleneck

@azi im gonna get a new psu when i get that i5

Anyway how does an ati 5670 perform when it comes to gmod bfbc2 etc
cause i also need to get some other upgrades such as a casing and a new led and was thinking of getting the 5670 for now

Meh nvm im getting the gtx550ti not the 5670 anyway thanks for the help guys , will oc my cpu when i get the gpu to 2.60ghz while keeping an eye the temp
