DISREGARD TITLE; I MEANT A NEW GPU, NOT CPU
Hey all!
a friend has a PC with an first gen i7 (i7-920) and a radeon 5860 gpu and thinks to upgrade the GPU.
It might be a dumb question, but can a motherboard of this generation (a good one at that) handle and use a current-gen CPU?
Or will the increase be bottlenecked somehow?
thanks for any input. Oh and he doesn't play wow, I know that here the potential would probably lie with a new cpu.
