Is it worth upgrading from gtx 650 2GB to 750 TI, with this CPU?
How is this worse than my i3 2100?
In singlethread is this going to perform better and also you can pair this something like gtx 660 gtx 750 ti and yet you will get good performance from it
is this going to bottleneck r7 260 msi 1gb ddr5?
No this CPU can handle up to R9 280x after OC without off any major bottleneck.
I running this CPU at 4.48Ghz with 1.45V :)
What cooling are you using? Stock, air or water cooling?
