Looking to upgrade an old build. I know my CPU will bottleneck performance, so I'm open to recommendations. Looking at the Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB. Current specs are:
AMD Phenom II X4 820 on an ASUS M5A88-M board
16GB ram (decent ram iirc, G.Skill),
600Watt OCZ power supply.
I am upgrading from a Radeon 5760 and planning to upgrade the CPU in the future (3 months or so) to the AMD FX-8320 8-Core Black Edition. Would the R9 270X do much for me, or will it be absolute overkill? What might be the best "bang for my buck" for this and future processor? Thanks much!!
