Good pair or too overkill?

I currently have an E7500 and I'm planning to get an MSi R6850 Cyclone PE. I'm gonna play games like Skyrim, BF3, or in short, new games. Since my procie is kinda low-end nowadays, I'm gonna pair it up with a good GPU to balance it out. Ok ra ni?

procie bottleneck..

Pila siguro ang FPS if I play BF 3 on high or ultra? (reso 1440x900)

1440 x 900 raman diay, ok ra na. 1920 x 1080 is different, your CPU will bottleneck your GPU

If BF3 is your primary basis, E7500 is ok. That game is far more GPU dependent than CPU dependent and at 1440x900 you wont notice the dips caused by cpu bottlenecking. It's a different story with Dirt 3, F1, Grid, Operation Flashpoint (Ego Engine based) and other cpu intensive games like GTA IV, Shogun 2, Flight Simulator X, Just Cause 2, Arma 2 and pretty much any game with HEAVY AI and large environments/countless objects..Besides, games nowadays love multiple cores.

If you decide to go fullHD, advise lang nako TS is to overclock your procie using 1333fsb and 10.5X multiplier. You wont break a sweat to do that and im pretty sure it wont stress your motherboard.

^ expert advice. =)

Thanks! Good news ang BF3, but will Skyrim be alright? kay kibaw ko dako kaayo ang environment sa Skyrim


one more thing - ECS G31T-M7 akong mobo, and I've read that it isn't very good at OC'ing..and that it isn't really good entirely..

Waaaaa!!..That's one crappy board. (no offense bro)

Skyrim is HEAVILY CPU-DEPENDENT..

But i think the framerates would still be "BEARABLE" @ 1440x900. If im mistaken, you could always lessen/disable depth of field/field of view.. If there is a bloom option, you could disable that too if you like. That feature stresses the processor too..

Unsa may naa anang Skyrim na maka lipong man sa Youtube ko ni watch og gameplay. Tiguwang na cguro ko para games lol

Yeah I know it's crappy xD I just don't have enough money to do a big upgrade..Anyway, I'm fine with mid-highish with Skyrim, as long as I can play it. Thanks!
