Hi!

I just have a quick question. i will be upgrading my pc slowly to quite a good one, and i will start with my gpu since i have a 6870 atm. I'll be getting the Geforce Titan.

And i just wonder how much would a i5-760 @ 2.8 Ghz(unclocked) bottleneck it? i might just use this processor until the end of april when i'll get a 3770k or until the new haswell gets released.

thanks!

Your question is rather generalized. You did not state your display resolution or configuration, games you play etc etc.

Generally speaking you will see a large cpu bottleneck. I would oc that i5 to the nutz if you are going to run a Titan.

Also this idea of slowly upgrading is generally not considered to be a wise course of action. Save up and then purchase the parts all at once.

I think it will hold you back a bit, but it all depends on what games you are going to play. Some games are more CPU intensive than others.

But it is a 4 core CPU so you shouldn't have too much of a problem, overclock it if you can, that will help.

for the moment its a 1080p monitor which will be upgraded sometime during the summer to a higher resolution.

The reason i dont wait with saving up all my money and buy it at once is because im not 100% sure on all the parts i want yet, and i would not like to wait until june/july with buying all the parts. the games i play is mainstream like bf3, skryim and such
