Reply With QuoteIndeed you'll be bottlenecked to hell and back with any Phenom.
Also, get an actual PSU rather than that $20 hunk of shit.

My computer & future upgrade possibilities
I want to upgrade my computer a bit, currently i run BF3 on ultra with a screen resolution of 1366x768 with around 55-35 FPS.
This or next month i will get money, and i need to know if my mobo supports a gtx 760 or if there are any better options, then tell me
Mobo : ASrock N68-VS3 FX
Current GPU : Geforce GTX 650 1GB
AMD Phenom II X4 - will this bottleneck if i get an GTX 760?
Also, will i have enough space in my case, its not the biggest one and i think it is pretty small.
Here are some pictures.

An FX-6300 will bring about 2X the power for about 85 euros. Originally Posted by Denelf

That will assuredly help, even more so than a CPU upgrade. Originally Posted by Denelf
