Will an e7200 bottleneck a 9800gtx video card?

Hello guys

eerr... will an e7200 processor bottleneck a 9800gtx?

I wanna play all the latest games, crysis, devil may cry4, bioshock etc.. in high settings as much as possible, in 1440 x 900 resolution.

I read somewhere that if I overclock the e7200, it can match the stock speed of e8400.

I'm on a budget, but I can dish out some extra bucks for an e8400 IF the e7200 bottlenecks the 9800gtx though...:dead:

any suggestions would be great

Not likely, the e7200 has more than enough gaming horsepower to keep up with the 9800GTX. However, if you were willing to dish out a bit more cash, the Radeon HD4870 blows the GTX away; is physically smaller to boot... just to give you another option

Nope, it's fast enough for anything barring a dual 9800GTX setup. Even that wouldn't be bottlenecked if you OC'd the E7200 to 3GHz and beyond.

LOL, at 1440x900, even the 9800GTX is overkill.
Oh and BTW, your name is damn hard to type! =P
