So I found a MSI RX 470 GAMING 4GB, but I'm wondering if I will bottleneck my i3 3220?
I'm playing titles with my 750 like WD2 (I can't properly thanks to damned 1GB VRAM) GTAV, BF1 and NFS.
Will it be a problem? And If so, by how much?
What CPU would you recommend for a 470, or should I wait for Ryzen?
 
Solution
an i3 3220 may bottleneck a RX 470 in some games where a true quad-core CPU is needed but generally its a decent match up CPU/GPU wise. I would go ahead and get the RX 470 now but I would also look into Ryzen from AMD when it launches early next year...I know I am. So ready to replace my i7 3930k @4.2ghz with a proper 8c/16t part.
