Hello, I have a AMD Athlon x4 760 and I'm planning to buy a gtx 970 or 960. Will my processor bottleneck it?

One more question. What wattage power supply do I need for this graphics card? Mine is only 350W and it is really cheap. My processor needs about 100W.

Thank you.

I don't think it would bottleneck a GTX960 but will bottleneck a GTX970. In my opinion.

Just tag @ChatDaw so I can answer as fast as possible.

It will bottleneck the gtx 970. You might want to consider getting a new cpu. 500W minimum psu.

Are you going to overclock your cpu? I suggest the i5 4690k if your going to overclock or the i5 4690 if your not going to overclock.

If its not much more than the 2GB version ($20 or so) then yea the 4GB is okay...
