Hi guys, i have a question.
Will R9 280 from MSI (3gb) Bottleneck on AMD Phenom II x4 980 @3,7ghz, cooled with http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=2&cid=12&id=46 (running at max 60'C at max)
Should i overclock the CPU? Or it will be fine?

you should be fine for playing any game @1080P anything higher you may run into CPU limitations.

Nope, im going to play only 1080p nothing higher i think.
i dont know if its legal to ask one more question in the same topic, but whatever it might get deleted so 😀
Will R9 280 be better buy than MSI 760 from nvidia? A did some research and i think that R9 is just better

the r9-280 and gtx760 are similar in performance, but the 280's tend to be cheaper so it's the best bang for your $$$
