Guys I am looking to upgrade my PC to play the likes of BF3 and other games. I'm thinking about purchasing the Msi Radeon HD 7870 and getting a better PSU as I am pretty sure that my current one will not support it, but I'm concerned that my CPU will bottleneck the GPU. I was considering getting a new motherboard and getting the AMD FX6300 6 Core @ 3.5GHz along with 8GB DDR3 --- But I will only do this if I need to.
Your help is much appreciated
Current PC:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
3GB DDR2 667MHz
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT
approx 350W PSU
Windows 7 32-bit
i would send u a link but im on my tablet and i cant send links on it.
