Will my i5-3350P bottleneck a gtx770/780?

[dude7691]

Hey guys! I am upgrading my PSU to either a 750w or 850w unit. My CPU is an intel core i5-3350P and I am planning to upgrade my GPU to either a gtx770 or a gtx780 a few months down the road. I need to know if my CPU will cause bottlenecking on my GPU. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a PSU. I have around £80 to spend and pushing £90 if it is really good. I need 2 sata power cables, a 24 pin ATX connector, a 4/8 pin CPU power connection, 2 PCI Power connection for a gpu and around 4 molex connections for fans. Thanks for your continued support

My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H and I have an ATX case

No, it should not bottleneck at all.

You want a 550-650w PSU from Antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair (only AX, HX, TX)

Is there a specific model you would recommend? Under £80-£90?

This is a VERY high end PSU and will be more than enough to power your build with a 770 or 780.

Thanks for the quick reply. This one looks good but only has a 3.5 star rating? I have read the ratings and have seen that some people have criticized it for being too noisy and breaking

Do not trust user ratings ever when it comes to computer parts.

This is one of the best PSUs for the money. It is AMAZING quality. It is actually a Seasonic PSU with an XFX label on it. Seasonic is about as good as it gets for PSUS.

I do believe you. I had a 550W XFX PSU in a PC I built for a friend which had a gtx 560 ti in it and it works flawlessly. I am guessing this is equally as good. Thanks for the help

Yes, they are both Seasonic units. Even the 550w unit would be fine for a gtx770 or gtx780 because your CPU is so low-draw.

Ordered it off amazon for £61. Amazing site, thanks for the help!
