Hello there there everyone I have recently decided to upgrade my Graphic card from my current Geforce GT 230 to GTX 660 Ti, the particular card on my mind is Palit GeForce GTX 660 Ti JetStream (2GB GDDR5/PCI Express 3.0/1006MHz/6108MHz)

Here's the link: http://www.maplin.co.uk/palit-geforce-gtx-660-ti-jetstream-2gb-gddr5-pci-express-3.0-1006mhz-6108mhz-678020


And I'm unsure if something is gonna bottleneck, I know that I will need to get a new PSU but anything from that I don't know.

My Computer specs are:

CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 (2.5GHz)
Motherboard Foxconn P43AL
Chipset P43 + ICH10
Memory 8GB DDR2 800MHz
PSU 420W


Thank you for the help


P.S. I'm a noob when it comes to this sort of things sorry.

Ahh OK I will try to oc my cpu, however i' am curious if there are any graphic cards that won't bottleneck my cpu without overclocking it because it could save me some money since im not really a hardcore gamer.
Do you have any suggestions?

Thank a lot for the reply!
