So I'm thinking of buying my friends 550ti and I have a few questions
First, is it worth getting a 550ti when it's already been out for a while? I don't have much of a budget so is it the best option for me?

And second, would it work fine in my system? I have a i7 (dualcore I think? I'll confirm in a bit) 3.4 ghz with 8 gb of ram. I have the nvidia drivers installed from when I used a 520 a bit back. I don't think this really matters but I'm currently using an amd 6670. Can someone also tell me what would bottleneck my system the most? As long as the 550 would work then I dot think I would really worry about it though.

You dot have to answer all of my questions. You can only answer one ifou like but I would appretiate it if you can answer all 3. Thanks!

a 550 ti is a large upgrade from a 6670, the 550 ti is ranked at 74 on passmark and the 6670 is 140-something. Also a dual core i7 and 8gb of RAM shouldn't be bottlnecked by the card and vice versa.

Just looked it up and I couldn't find any...or even i5's for that matter.
