I'm going to upgrade my graphics card to the xfx DD 7870. I would like to know if my current system can handle it without having to upgrade anything else.

=Specs=
CPU:Athlon ii x3 450
MOBO: asrock 880gm-le
RAM: 4gb Ripjaws
PSU: CX500
GPU: ASUS 6670 gddr5

I know my CPU will bottleneck it. I'm hoping to upgrade to at least a phenom II x4 in the near future. I would just like to know if the card will run on my system and be better than the 6670 I currently have.

I would rather get the same performance now then upgrade the cpu to get better performance than get a 7850 then have to upgrade both, graphics card and cpu to get better performance.
