Will this GPU work with a i3-3240?

[Ryan_183]

Ok so i think i found a good cheap gpu but i need to know if it will bottleneck on a intel i3-3240? You see i don't know much about tech so i need to ask you smart people
here is the GPU i was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932

That i3 would be great in most games. It would be fine with a GTX760. I'm assuming you found a used 760 for cheap???

I may have changed my mind how about this GPU do you think it is as good or better then this one?

The 960 is a lot better, and is probably the strongest video card I could recommend.

$254 is an absolutely terrible price for a 960 though.


Even $173 after rebate is not very good. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/WpgPxr/msi-video-card-gtx960gaming2g

Holy...man am i happy you showed me that like i said i'm not very tech smart so i had no idea that was a bad deal!
Makes me think maybe i could get a psu and this gpu for under 300 bucks if i'm careful...
Anyway thanks i'm off to find a 550W psu i think that would be all i need
