A85500 bottleneck R9 280x?

[JJMoore]

I have a A8 5500 with a 600w... I want to get a R9 270x or a 280x will it bottleneck me? FYI I play BF4 planetside 2 MOHW and Arma 3

the 280 will be bottleneck for sure and it will problably still bottleneck the 270 but problably not by a whole bunch

Is it worth getting the 280x, if i do will i be getting terrible fps? My goal is 50-60 fps average on a 1440x900 monitor.

well you should get still good fps anywhere from 40-60 fps but the gpu will be bottlenecked
