Posted August 9, 2017 OhSo recently I had enough money to buy a graphics card. I have a i3-3320 clocked at 3.6ghz and 6 gb of ram. I was just wondering if my cpu would bottleneck my 1050ti I'm also worried that my case won't fit my case I have a pcie slot for it but I don't know how companies measure the graphics card so if it doesn't do fit I'll be stuck with a useless gpu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2017 i don't think the bottleneck will be to big of a deal (not sure tho, only in cpu intensive games i guess) What case do you have, it might be handy to know for us, so we can try to help ~i5-7600k @5GHz ~Be Quiet!

Posted August 9, 2017 I think the only bottleneck you may face is your ram [however 6gb is fine respectively], I'd upgrade to 16gb when possible as most min-specs are about 8-10gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a micro ATX or mini ITX case, it should still fit usually. Check the manual of the case for the max length of graphics cards it can fit. Next, check the length of the actual graphics card. Usually, the graphics card will fit all but the smallest cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 9, 2017 i3 will run most of todays games like crap. Many games are running 12 threads or more. While your i3 may seem fine to you a better CPU would probably blow your mind. I would not run a 1050ti with an i3, you will get a bottleneck with games like GTAV and BF1.
