Intel Core I5 2400 + R9 390X?

[Jonylou]

Hey guys!
Recently I've been wondering about this question.
I have an Intel Core I5 2400 overclocked to 4.0GHz in an AsRock z77 Pro3 but the question stays the same.
Will my CPU bottleneck the XFX R9 390X 8Gb Black Edition?

Thanks for all your help!

Not really. Few are the games where your CPU clocked at 4ghz will reach 100% usage while the GPU stays on 50% or something like that. Even if your CPU reaches its limit, the GPU will be really close to reaching its limit as well, so personally I would suggest getting the 390x, you will have no worries, not to mention you can transition it towards your next build and crossfire it.
