And please, DON'T WORRY ABOUT BOTTLENECKING. Some people on these forums think its a matter of life and death. Its really not that big of a deal to be honest.

No, its really not true. The worst it can do is make your graphics card not be able to reach its full potential. I don't want that to sound like its a big deal becuase we are talking about maybe 5 FPS. Also, even if you do bottleneck you wont notice any lagging, stuttering, crashing or anything else that would make a game unplayable.
