My CPU is currently AMD Phenom II x4 925 (Deneb) OC @ 3.4GHz.

If I were to replace my graphic card to 7950, will there be a bottleneck? I am currently using 6950.

If there is a bottleneck, may I know what motherboard and CPU to get to eliminate the bottleneck?

Nope there won't be any bottlenecking. What games are you playing?

If you are changing from an unlocked 6950 to 7950, not sure but may not be worth it, probably slightly improved performance and slightly better power draw, think 7950 boost edition better. You may want to consider 670 for more increased performance.

As for bottleneck, should be fine. If you need or want an upgrade, any decent mobo with intel i5, or fx8350 with any decent amd mobo.

Thanks for the helpful post.. What about Gigabyte GTX 660ti 2GB OC to 1032MHZ? Will it be better than a gtx 670?
