Hi, this might be a very dumb question but i baught a GTX 960 with 4gigs of Ram (which i don't have yet) and i was asking my self if my i7 2600k isn't going to be a bottleneck ? 

 

What are you thinking about this ??

 

And another thing! my old Card is a GTX 570 with 1.2gigs (lol) is the 960 going to be a big improvement over the old one ?

 

thanks a lot and have a great day!

Your i7 2600K won't bottleneck, no. It's still a perfectly capable CPU.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Well no. @Slick is rocking his i5 2600k with a pair of 980's. Also I would have a look at the 380 for more GPU power.

It seems he's already bought the card. Nevertheless, the 380 presents better value for performance. @Kevin924- consider cancelling your order and getting the 380 instead if you can bear with the trouble.

ignore the AMD fanboys, keep the order, the gtx 960 is a great card, and will serve you well.

i never intended to change my order for an AMD card, since my first pc i had Nvidia and was always happy with it so i'll never change to AMD :'DxD
