i5 650 and g1 gtx 970

[manicpsychotic]

First of all hi to everyone.

I have a question. Im using an i5 650 which i will soon OC to about 3.8-4.0 GHz. Im also getting 8Gb Ripjaws Z RAM at 2133 MHz. My mobo is Gigabyte P55-UD4 and 650W Corsair supply. Im getting a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 and planning to get another one in 6 months or so. Will it (they) get bottlenecked?

Thanks in advance,
Marko

You'll be fine with a single 970, but two in SLI would bottleneck

Is there a way around it without changing the proc, maybe trying to get it up to 4.3-4.4 GHz? And if I do have to change the proc would some 1556 i7 be better or are they just now worth the money anymore?

Thanks for your quick reply.

What resolution do you play at? a second 970 might not even be needed...

I think at 4.3ghz you could prolly just go for the sli anyway and don't worry about the bottleneck

I have had two babies roll into my life so I paused playing for a while but now im trying to put together a decent gaming machine again since they grew a bit. So to answer ur question about the res, i dunno, but as high as possible.
