I'm planning on building a cheap gaming / HTPC for my bedroom and I have an old LGA775 motherboard that I for free a while ago.
CPU wise I'm going the LGA771 mod route so I can squeaze the most out of the old 775 socket.
Here's the specs i'm planning for it.
GTX 760 SC 2GB GDDR5
Intel Xeon X5460 3.16 GHz Quad-Core
4GB DDR2 RAM @800MHz
ASUS P5KPL-SE Motherboard with the LGA771 Mod and a modified BIOS.
Coolermaster Extreme Power-Plus 500W PSU
So my question is will that CPU be a bottleneck and will the RAM make a noticeable difference in my performance in modern games? If the build goes fine and all I'll consider getting a DDR3 LGA775 motherboard down the road

Upgrade to 8gb ram if you want more multitasking and be able to play demanding titles on higher settings like gta v, your cpu and gpu will be bottlenecked but not that much.
