Will This BOTTLENECK ?

[grassy]

My new Xmas parts build kind of(hopefully), basically i wanted to know if my GPU will bottleneck the CPU or any other parts,

Intel i5 2500k, overclock to 4.5ghz?

MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (REV B3) (A decent mobo?)

4GB Mushkin Radioactive DDR3 1600MHz 7-9-7-24

Corsair TX-V2 650w --already own--

XFX 6870 1gb Duel fan --already own--

(already have other parts, case ect)

if you could suggest any better parts for around the same price, GO for it!

BTW Get an Nvidia GPU you'll be much happier
