Will an Intel i5-3470 bottleneck a GTX 960 ?

Hey guys,

So regarding the subject, I'm looking for an upgrade for a new graphics card within my budget, I'm thinking of an Asus Strix GTX 960 2gb or MSI Twin Frozr GTX 960 2gb and I'm wondering if that will bottleneck my current CPU (i5-3470 Ivy Bridge @ 3.2Ghz)

Will appreciate all the replies

Thanks for reading ^_^

Nope.

for the same $$$ you can get AMD R9 380, which is a lot faster. Your cpu is fine.

The CPU won't bottleneck it at all unless you run at resolutions lower than 1080p by which the CPU won't pass as much of the workload on to the GPU.
