Hi there.

I'm getting fed up of not being able to run bf3 on ultra and skyrim etc so I'm wondering is my [email protected] the problem or my atio 5850? I'm know both are very old and need updating but I don't really have the money to be able to upgrad my motherboard and ram as well as the CPU.

So do I spend my £250 budget on a 7950 or buy i5 mobo ram etc. but the thing that is confusing is when I'm playing my games the CPU never hits 100% usage so maybe games don't really need that much CPU power yet.tttt

Any help would be great thanks.

Yeah I don't really mind bottlenecking my gpu as it'd be future proof for a while plus I'd get £80 for my gpu if I'm lucky. I'll have a look at the 7950 now as I believe you can flash it to run faster then the 7970? Shall I get the 3gb version?
