Hello can someone help me. I have very low budget and i have to save money for a preety long time to get something so i upgrade only when something breakes on me or becomes preety outdated and when i do upgrade i aim at something "better" so that i dont have to replace it any time soon. I currently have radeon hd 5570 gpu i plan to upgrade it to gtx 770 or hd 7970. My question is will it be bottlenecked by my triplecore amd athlon II X3 440, 3000mhz procesor. Ofcourse i plan to upgrade it but it will take me a long time because il have to upgrade my motherboard and power supply + procesor at the same time and i want to get a full hd monitor because my current one is 1680x1050 WITH DAMN VGA -.-'. Sorry for bad English im European :P

You may not be able to run the 700 series. They need a high ampage on the 12v rail. Post your full system specs please, with HDDs and everything so we can see what sort of power you are drawing first.

i think that psu is fine but there would be a bottleneck and that would be your cpu while its stock. i would oc as much as you can while still being stable. the more you oc the less of a bottleneck you will have

i think the Athlon II x2 3000mhz  it is a bottleneck, and a Athlon II x4 3000mhz "is not" a bottleneck

 

so "you may be good there" with your Athlon II x3 3000mhz 

 

i think you will fine with that 7970 (or a 7950) and that 600w PSU

 

for the 770 you may be ned a new PSU, not sure really

APU = A10
