getting a gtx970

[Waffeslya]

So i currently have a gtx 660 and planning on buying a gtx 970 to replace it but im wondering will my core i5-4440 bottleneck it?

Heres a screenshot of my specs 

[Oshino Shinobu]

Nope, they will work well together. 

[Remmi2002]

No, it won't, just google it.

[Nacho Marco Segui]

No,it wont

[Waffeslya]

okay thanks for the fast replies but do you think i should upgrade my cpu anyway?

[TheRandomness]

It won't bottleneck but what about a 390?

[Remmi2002]

If you can, just upgrade to an i5 overclockable cpu

you can call me a fanboy but ive always had nvidia gpus and i dont really like changing stuff like that

It's fine all about personal preferences.

That's not an i5 but it would be an upgrade, to say the least. What cooling do you have for the CPU?

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Yes it'll be just fine.

You won't see a big improvement over the i5 in most of the games but it'll certainly be faster in other areas.

With that watercooler you could go with a 4690k or 4790k just fine
