Building A Gaming PC (Bottleneck Issues) Help!

hey Forum,

I am building a gaming pc and I want to start pretty soon. I am going to bee getting an intel core i5-4570 CPU, an MSI-Z87-GD65 gaming motherboard, 8GB of team dark series DDR3 1600 RAM, two 60GB corsair force ssd's, a 320GB 7200RPM hard drive, and a ocz gaming 550 watt modular power supply (all in an nzxt case). I know there is no graphics card on this list. that is because i already own an nvidia GT240 card. I know it is bottlenecking but I want to wait until the nvidia GTX750 comes out next month. Do you think this is a good idea to wait, and is my power supply even going to be big enough for the card? Please reply soon.
 
Thanks,
Reid Riley

I would wait. As for the power supply its should do the job as power draw is 140W but i would go into the 600w cause if you wont to add some extras later on you can.

You're getting a locked GPU with an unlocked mobo; i.e., wasting money.

The best thing to do here would be to give us a budget and let us throw together builds for you.

You would be better served by this coniguration. But the way to get the most performance for the money in this price range would be to get a 990fx board and a 6300 and pair that with a better gpu. The video card will usually be the determinning factor in how well a gaming pc does in-game. So saving some with the rest of the system and putting that money towards a better video card is your best bet. I would say to go for either a 760 of a 770 regardless of what the rest of the system looks like seeing as how, even with those card, the gpu would likely be the source of any bottlenecking.
