Question about gaming PC Bottleneck

[GeneralShotgun]

Just wondering if someone could look at my specs and tell me what they think. I'm curious if anyone sees a bottleneck, and to what degree the performance could increase with a change to that component. Thanks so much! 😍

Lemme know what you think.

You forgot to mention your power supply, but other than that, it should be ok.

Well if you are feeling some low performance I guess only reasonable upgrade where you could really feel difference is graphic card. But what to upgrade to would depend on your budget and PSU you use to know if it can handle it. Generaly any of new cards be it gtx 780, 780ti or r9 290 / 290x would give you biggest boost in speed.
You can also try gtx 770 or r9 280x but those will give you smaller boost only.

But unless you feel your games/programs are not running as smooth as you want don't upgrade. You already got quite good card so unless you really need it it's pointless. Because every half year with new cards prices of some older drop so if you dont need rather wait for some price drop on top tier and get it then.

My bad. Thanks.

Well if you are feeling some...

Thanks for replying! I was just running some benchmarks and whatnot and it got me thinking about bottlenecks. If you, or anyone else, can't see any somewhat significant bottlenecks in my specs, then that's great. Thanks again.

Well you got i5 that will run with any GPU even those top out there and wont bottleneck it and most games out there cant use all of CPU power anyway.
16gb ram is plenty for any and all games for long time ahead and 1600 mhz is standard and you wont see big difference even if you would go 2400+.
Slowest parts you got are gpu and hdd. Hdd will effect in most cases only load times, so if you are not concerned about it no need to upg to ssd yet. (Because once you get SSD you wont ever want to have pc without it ).

And GPU well as you already know there are many better but gtx 660 should allow you play all modern games. Not on max settings and 4k, but if you stick like with 1080p and some average settings you should be able to comfortably play with it. And when you decide you want that extra kick or better settings/higher resolution you can always either try 660 in sli or get one more powerful card.

Constructive answers, thanks guys.
