CPU Choices

[ShulkIsReallyFeelingIt]

Hello,

 

I've recently purchased a GTX 750ti for my up-and-coming entry-level gaming rig. However, it seems that I have made a small error, as it has seemed to bottleneck my CPU. So, basically, my question is this ; how far up the Intel CPU tech-tree do I have to go before the bottleneck effect is non-existent?

 

EDIT : My previous processer was a Pentium E5200. Ancient.

Saying what CPU you have right now is good place to start

Any Haswell processor will be fine.

I really need something more specific. Any ideas?

Q6600? Then you won't have to change your mobo.

[ShulkIsReallyFeelingIt]

Thanks, everyone. I'll give it a shot.

If you want to get a new mobo, you could grab a G3258 and H81M board. You still may get bottlenecks with a Q6600, but they would be much better than with a E5200.

I'l rip a Q6600 out of a older school computer for you
