I3-2120 with GTX 1060

[STR]

Good day everyone. I built my pc several years before on a tight budget. Core i3-2120, 4gb ram, geforce GT 630, and so on. I managed to upgrade my ram to 8 gb and now looking forward to upgrade my graphics card. Tired of playing games in low graphics settings, and lags around. I do play dying light, call of duty ghosts(never finish playing yet cause the graphics is terrible), GTA, FIFA, CSGO, crysis3 and so on. Gonna try forza too. Im planning to get a graphics card that will let me play games on 1080p with high/ultra settings. Probably will get a GTX 1060, but im not sure of it yet. Will research more on it. My issue now is, will my i3-2120 bottleneck the graphcs card? is it somesort not worth it, and better to get a new processor? Thank you.

Yes it will.

A newer 3220 is bottlenecking COD Ghosts compared to the old i5 2500k.

I wouldn't spend any money on a GPU until you upgrade the CPU to at least an i5 with very high clocks.

why not try it first, if not buy a i5 2500k cpu for 100$. That will be enough for a 1060.
