And is this cpu still good for gaming like nowdays?My rigI3 21008GB RAMGTX 960 4GBECS H1H2 M6 V1.0

There are plenty of games that will not stay above 60fps on a modern i5, regardless of what video card you have. Asking whether it will bottleneck your GTX 960 is meaningless; better to ask if it can supply your desired framerates in the games you play.

what's the best gpu for i3-2100hi everyone whats the best gpu for i3-2100 is there anything better than gtx 750 ti that i3-2100 wont bottleneck?

the 4gb vram here would help after you upgrade the cpu laterhttp://www.kilobaitas.lt/PCI-E_16x/Zotac/ZOTAC_GeForce_GTX_960,_4GB_DDR/ZT-90308-10M/CatalogStoreDetail.aspx?CatID=PL_433&ID=603643

Intel I3 2100 performanceI want to know that I have an i3 [email protected].... So will it be ok for gaming??I dont have a gpu currently, have 4gb ram and gta 4 runs smooth on lowest graphics only on the graphics of I3.Do I need to buy any other processor if I use :Radeon r7 2608gb ram in my new pc

No,you won't have to buy a new CPU.An R7 260X or a GTX 750 Ti will be a perfect match for your CPU.All the best.

Worth upgrading from i3-2100 to i5-3570k?I am currently planning on getting an i5-3570k just so I can match it with my GTX 1060 but I'm doubting if it's gonna make a huge difference or not. My current CPU bottlenecks my graphic card most of the time and I don't want the same thing with the i5-3570k. Should I go for it? Thanks for any replies (Note: My motherboard takes 2/3 Gen CPUs)

Actually its going to cost you an extra $100 for a slower CPU. The i3-8350K is $168 where as the I5-3570K is $275. Then the I3-8350k is about 25% faster not to speak of leaked max overclock of 5.2Ghz. The new 1151v2 will also support cannon lake 8 cores next year so your also looking at upgrade path advantage. I suggest you get the i3-8350k for $168, Z370 for about $100, and then your really only out the extra say $60 for 8 GB's of DDR4 RAM.Here is lowest priced I5 for your motherboard.PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchantCPU: Intel - Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($275.00 @ Amazon) Total: $275.00Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2017-10-03 19:43 EDT-0400

upgrading cpu for bf4 from i3 2100 to i5 3350p?Hello.my system is :asrock p67 pro (supports 1055)Gigabyte r9 280x 8gb ddr 3 ram600 wat psu intel i3 2100 windows 7 So with this pc i can play bf4 on ultra full hd no problem in singleplayer, but in multy i get drops to 28fps from 60 .. if i look in the ground it climbs to 80 even..would an upgrade to quad core i5 3350p fix the problem?

So basically, the i5-3350P is mostly for lower TDP , rather than best performance in class.
