R9 270 for Core 2 Duo?

[Aldo11]

Hello, I am considering GPU upgrade. My current configuration is:

Asrock P5B - DE, c2d E8600 @ 4ghz, 6gb DDR2 800mhz and HD6770.

I am thinking over R9 270, but I´m a bit afraid about bottlenecking since my CPU and RAM is not very modern. Should I go for R7 260X? Or is it worth spending extra 40€ for R9 270 in my case? Wouldn´t be R7 260X bottlenecked too?

I game at 1920x1080 with at least 2xAA
Thanks!

Your current setup with a R9 270 will probably not cut it as most games will probably need more than an old dual core and 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM. I would advise spending money on those parts before upgrading your GPU.

Yeah, the R9 270 will be terribly bottlenecked your dual-core system. Better upgrade your CPU and RAM modules before thinking of upgrading the GPU..

Since you seem fine with a Core 2 Duo, I would suggest an i3 Ivy or Haswell and 8gb DDR3
Consider this before buying a new GPU. I think your 6770 will suffice for a little bit longer.
