Too bad he's not physically capable of going deeper.

But I bet he says that a lot.

She doesn't. She never will.

Well when your arm gets tired there's a pill for that.

You mean this?

Well that went somewhere else quickly

 

It should be fine, but that Q8200 is going to bottle neck that 760 to the ground. my 750ti is bottlenecked by a Q8300 which sure it can handle games but some games are just a laggy mess at times.

like bf4 I get 30 fps on low at 1080p and 720p. 

 

Watch dogs i get 20fps even at 800x600 is won't go above 20fps because my processor is slow

Seriously i was thinking about upgrading my gpu first so i can play games like watch dogs smoothly and then upgrade the rest of the main components when i have the money but why will it bottleneck it so hard is there a main reason like the speed maybe ill just overclock ?

If you can I would seriously think about overclocking your processor to around 3.0ghz. it'll lower the bottleneck. to a reasonably playable point. but Q8200 isn't even in minimum spec requirements for watch dogs (q8400) is the lowest I think so you should overclock.

most games would only get a little bottleneck which should be fine but other will be fine.

I did same thing as you are going to do.

I had Q8300 and put GTX 760 in there. Originaly I had GT310 so it was great improvement but I noticed that I was not getting much out of it as I expected to. Benchmarks were pretty low like half the value others were getting with proper rig. So your CPU will bottleneck the card even if u overclock. It will improve in FPS but I dont know how much, definately not to the full potential of 760 thought.

Watch Dogs is not well optimized and still runs like poo even after 2 months since its been released... I am running watchdogs on High settings (water ultra, gpu buffered frames 3, 8x MSAA, no blur) with the new rig and I can feel that sometimes its not smooth. Far Cry 3 and Bioshock Infinite run totally fine
