    Annoying Graphical Glitch. Monitor or Graphics Card?

    Hello all, I just wanted to ask if my computer would be able to run a R9 270x. If so, would my CPU bottleneck the card and what things would I need to look out for when running it. If not, what kind of GPUs should I use? Keep in mind that I do not wish to upgrade my PSU. Computer Specs: CPU...
