Will an i5-2500k bottleneck 2 GTX570 SLI?

[bwise7416]

I have a set up with an i5-2500k and plan to overclock it to somewhere in between 4.0-4.5Ghz. Will this processor bottleneck the performance of 2 EVGA GTX 570 HD SC? Not sure how to tell what components bottleneck others. Thanks.

I don't think it will bottleneck. But a single GTX570 is more than enough if you're playing @1080p even at stock cpu

I do play at 1080p and figured as much, but I am just curious because I was thinking of adding in another gtx 570 in the future when a single gtx 570 doesn't seem to handle games as well.

Even without over-clocking, that CPU should be plenty for two 570s in SLI in any game I've seen benchmarked.
