asus 960 strix CPU Bottlenecking GPU?

Bottlenecked?

Intel Celeron CPU G1820 & Asus 960 Sstrix 2gb model

 

I'm going to get an upgrade from Asus 650 Ti to a Asus 960 strix 2gb model,  but I don't know if I will be bottlenecked? I have a Intel Celeron CPU G1820, clock speed of 2.7GHz, 2 Cores and 2 Threads. But I'm running on a Celeron. I may consider to get at least an i3 but I'm on a budget. But, will I get bottlenecked if I tried to combine both of these powers?

What games do you play? A lot? A few?

I play games such as BF4, Black Ops 3. Demanding titles. I render on my computer and a 650 Ti doesn't cut it. I'm looking for Battlefield High / Ultra.

I'd say save your money for a better overally gpu cpu upgrade.

Yeah, that celeron will really hurt you then. Especially on bf4 as it utilizes multiple cores.

Get at least an i3, Celerons are not made for gaming especially not BF4.

 I have a Intel Celeron CPU G1820, clock speed of ...

most games will not run at all on that, sorry...get a quad-core upgrade and your 650ti will suddently feel immensely stronger..

(look for any cheap quad-core chip that your motherboard could handle.)

Get at least 6GB of system memory.

And then think about a GTX 960 upgrade (and maybe PSU)

I agree. Bottlenecking will occur in more demanding titles, and even if you threw a titan in there that won't make up for a slow CPU in full. Go for maybe a GTX 760 or 950 and a CPU upgrade to and i3 or i5.

My budget is £240 to £270 ($337.37 - $379.54 in the US) on Graphics Cards and CPU's, I'm now thinking of buying both, but just a notch down with the graphics cards. I saw a ASUS Strix 950 model for £145 (£203.91) and an i5 processor (i3-4160) for £99 ($139.24), add them up, we have £241 (£338.92) Now keeping in mind from your help, will that go down well? Just to be on the safe side of things.

i would try to get an i5-4430/4440/4460 for CPU instead of the core i3 if at all possible.
