Specs: in my signature.

 

I keep asking myself if I can buy a better GPU (will probably be second-hand GPU) that will not be bottlenecked by the rest of my system, anyone has any suggestions?

When I have the money to buy myself a good gaming system, I will. Unfortunately, that has not been the case yet :(

 

7770, this is much more powerfull than @Lanoi computer so you are good

A 7770 would not be bottlenecked? O.o

Don't get a 610 he was joking "I hope" Its pretty hard to bottleneck a card very severely, but a 760 is your best bet it a great card for the price

Hope I could help!

So you're saying that putting the latest generation Nvidia GPU-series in there would not be bottlenecked by my CPU? O.o

My dad ran dual 8800GTXs in SLI. It was pretty powerful, but they were 320MB cards and they used over 300 watts. Besides, they're both broken now. (They were never overclocked but they both output messed up video) He has a 660 now. Works perfectly fine for him.

 

You should go for something like a 650ti or a 660. Maybe a 670?

Not that much and it will last you if you decide to upgrade in the future

Yeah, a lot of Wattage for what I actually get of quality-image... :(

Yeah, I got this system (kept in good condition) from my 27-years old brother when I was 16. The downside of it is the fact that newer technology, programs, games demand better hardware  :(
