HI, i want to upgrade my graphics card. I consider buying Sapphire Radeon R7 1 Gb DDr5 and i dont know if i will have bottleneck issues. If Yes plz suggest an other gaming graphic card for this prossesor.
 
Your Phenom II 9500 is a fairly slow CPU by todays standards so just about any medium / large GPU will have the potential to be held back. That being said, don't hesitate to upgrade your GPU to the largest you can afford. It will show gains over your current GPU and can be used in a future build. ...not exactly wasted money even if your current CPU is less than desired. Determine your budget, then use the article below to help you narrow down your best bang-for-the-buck. Your "value" choices are likely going to be with the R7 250x, R7 260x or R9 270X. The R9 280 and 290 are great performance values as is the GTX 970, but these may be out of your budget range.
