I dont think hell have to worry about CPU bottle neck looking at his sig rig CPU
EDIT: might I suggest a new motherboard? reason being that with what you have, I'd say grab another 6870 and 2 monitors to do a xfinity set but.... BUT you dont have the budget
i will for sure have a xfinity set up in near future..
that's for sure.. smile.gif
means that i will purchase THE MONITOR in near future... biggrin.gif

If OP is satified with his computers preformance maybe look into buying pariphs to make game play more enjoyable? speakers nice headphones mech keyboard? or ever think of just not spending it and saving money?

his cpu should be capable of running. of course there would be a slight difference to s1155 but not that much noticable but therefot he can OC it to 4ghz what shoud make the deal acceptable
sorry but my CPU is already @ 4gHz at 1.52v full stable (16 * 250) and ya ram @ 1666 mHz at 1.63v.. smile.gif
anyway some very good gfx cxard comparison graphs...

not benchmarks but actually notice. just saying i own a 6870 at dont see any lagging but I may play different games the the OP does,
i mostly FPS like BF3 , MW3 , some other COD series and MOh as well.. tongue.gif
very rare almost not for any RPG's.. i don't play rpg"s mad.gif

I'm with you where if he is happy with his current setup, theres no reason to put money into it just because he has it, but GPU is going to be the most noticable upgrade of anything, as CPU/RAM/ETC will only benchmark better, not really notice any differences.
well , yes there won't be any noticable diffence from 60 to 120 fps.. yes i whole heartedly agree that...
also agreed your point about more requirement of GPU power..
and yes this upgrade is for improving all over gaming performance not any benchmarking scores.. smile.gif
