Q6600 Bottleneck Rx 560??

[wiwildon]

Okay So I Just Bought Rx 560 14nm One, And i Throwing it To My PC The Spec Is :
Proc Is Xeon E5430
Mobo Gigabyte G41 Combo
4 Gigs Corsair Ram DDR3
And a VS 450w PSU

And It Is Bottlenecking The Cpu , and i don't Want To Spending Much Money To Change My Mobo And Proc To Newer one.

But I Checked at Youtube That Someone is Pairing Q6600 With a 1050 Ti Here is The Link :https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Wu-4tIvK4

So im Thinking to Change it To a Q6600 Is it Gonna Bottlenecking?

Sadly, your computer does need an upgrade. An extra 4GB of Ram wouldn't go amiss.
The 560 isn't as good as a 1050, so you are going to get less than that video.
According to this - http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Xeon-E5430-vs-Intel-Core2-Quad-Q6600/m16038vs1980 you already have the better CPU
Do you have your machine OC'd? Speed is quite crucial.

I Literally Didn't Know How To Overclocking Yet So I Just Let it At Stock Speed at 2.67Ghz.

so your cpu isn't as fast as an over-clocked one and your gpu isnt as fast as the one in the video.
so you won't get as high as that video shows.
but You are pretty much maxing your build without upgrading

You could try the 2nd photo here. Q6600 BSEL mod.

If you have the SLACR Q6600 it should work, the SL9UM version might need more Voltage.
But a Q9650/Q9550 will be much better. G41 actuallt supports Xeon swaps, but that's kind of advanced also.
You should add more RAM. 4GB isn't enough for a 2GB GPU, and you need 8GB if you have the 4GB version. Those 2 changes should help a lot.

i have a q6600 paired with an R9-270 and it runs really well. kids game on it all the time and are not complaining. a 560 is not that much faster and though the cpu is going to be the slowest part of the system, it won't be choking the gpu to death.

the BSEL mod william suggested is not a bad idea either. i did it to mine as well and it runs nicely at 3 ghz with the 270 on the stock dell psu!! you'd have no issues with the vs450 running the card and the BSEL mod if you can manage it. took me about 20 minutes to finish the process and i'm glad i did.

finally, moving to 8 gb ram would do a lot for the system. i had 4 gb and it was night and day when i upped it to 8 gb of ram. everything runs a lot smoother and i only paid about $30 for the 4 x 2gb kit a few years ago. think it is even cheaper now.

Be sure and get low density x64 RAM. Dells won't run the cheaper x128 "AMD" RAM.
If you like the way it runs with those mods then a small SSD would be the finishing touch. Just be sure to turn off Auto Defrgamentation in System Tools if you do that.
