i5 bottlenecking 560

[OVaughan]

I have a Intel Core i5 650 processor and am planning on getting a 2gb Evga Gtx 560 ti, I currently have a Radeon HD 6670, would my low end i5 bottleneck the 560?

Also, I have a 450w psu and am not too sure if I need to upgrade..

If you could give me some advice that'd be awesome, thanks.

You won't bottleneck that old card with that old CPU. I hope that GPU is pretty cheap.

I mean will the CPU bottleneck my GPU if I were to upgrade to a 560ti?

no the i5-650 will not bottleneck until you get into a 660ti/7870le kepler/tahiti gpu or higher.

and the PSU would be fine also?

if your psu is as old as the i5, i would look into getting at least a decent 550w or higher power supply. you would probably be fine but if your over clocking the cpu and gpu you may start running that psu into the ground.

Alright, thanks a lot.
