Ok please just stop. Telling someone that an i3 or i5 is going to be less of a 'bottleneck' than an i7 is just plain backwards.

OP: your CPU and GPU combo is fine.

Do NOT buy an i3 for anything related to video games. Jesus christ.

Get a solid-state hard drive if you don't have one already. A standard hard drive (spinning type) WILL create an I/O bottleneck that will become apparent during load screens and whenever the OS tries to utilize virtual memory/pagefile/swapfile.

Listen to Geforcez and use the pc-builds website to compare things BEFORE coming here and listening to people try and tell you that a latest-gen i3 is going to be better than ANY generation i7, etc etc etc
