Hello all, first thanks for reading this. I was considering upgrading from my gtx 660 non ti card to a gtx 780 non ti but I'm concerned that my cpu may bottleneck it. I'm not really knowledgeable in that area hence why I'm posting this. My full system specs are as follows:
CPU: I5 2300 Non K 2.8ghz
GPU: EVGA 660 SC 2gb GDDR5
Ram: 8GB
HDD: SSD for OS and 7200 RPM 1TB WD hdd for games
Motherboard: MSI H77MA-G43 Socket 1155

Thanks again for taking your time to read this :D
 
Solution
the i5 2300 should have enough grunt not to bottleneck the 780 in most situations as it has strong perfomance even if its a little slower than the higher end 4 series. on single threaded games you may have an odd problem due to limited cpu speeds (it will depend on the game) but on games like bf4 it shouldnt be an issue.
