New video card bottleneck

[xKyrad]

Hi there! I was thinking in upgrade my "girlfriend"
My pc:
Gigabyte ga-h61m-s1
8 gb ram
Sapphire HD 7770
i5-3330 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.20 GHz

If i a buy an AM3 cpu i wont be able to use it because my motherboard sucks and if i buy a mother i would need a cpu.
I have the money to buy a R9 270x Vapor x oc should i buy it? or the bottleneck will be to hard?

Sorry for the bad english.

That CPU is more than fine for an R9 270X, don't worry.
Jumping to AM3 would probably even make it worse, believe me, you are set
You could buy a GTX 980 and it would not be botheneck by your CPU.

that i5-3300 is more powerful than any am3+ procie you can throw at it in terms of gaming.

like airskiller even if you throw a gtx 980 there it would not bottleneck because the processor is still strong enough.

Oh i didnt know that i thought that my cpu was garbage because when i use systemrequirements my processor never meets the expectations
