CPU: E7300 -MSY 185
GPU: 896mb GTX 260 OC Gigabyte Core 16 -SCORPTEC 495
RAM: 4gb Kingston Twin 1066 -MSY 98
MOBO: Gigabyte EP45-DS3 -MSY 184
PSU: Corsair HX-620 -SCORPTEC 175
CASE: Antec Nine-Hundred -MSY 193

TOTAL: 1330

My main Q is might the E7300 bottleneck the gtx 260?? Don't plan on OC so will keep stock cooling. Chose the gtx 260 over 1gb 4870 because was a bit cheaper and seems with new (Core 16) may yield better performance as Nvidia seems a bit better for gaming.

Anyways, any ideas or suggestions are welcome. BTW not going over this set budget as I'm pushing it as it is. Thx

BTW also have HDDs so don't need anymore

if you don't overclock get at last a E8400 but MSY ? malysia so i dunno how thing cost here you probably from outside north america right ? you should know all cpu below E8400 : not overclocked is sort Weak for maximum gaming performances overclocking a cpu but no it wouldn't bottleneck the power as i think off but it would give 20-30fps less then it if was overclock which any after market cooler from 30-50$ will do better get the most CFM for it such as Thermalright 120 extreme can't be wrong with it
