RX 460 or RX470

[RockerM3]

I can't decide between these 2 cards. I've read that the 470 bottlenecks the FX6300, so my question is, if I overclock the CPU, will that minimize the bottleneck?

My system: FX6300, 8 GB RAM, ASUS M5A78L LE, Sentey PSU 500W

Is my motherboard compatible and the PSU for both cards?

Thanks!

Go with the 470, it's better. And no, it doesn't bottleneck the fx6300, this cpu is powerful by itself.

Can the 470 fit in that motherboard? And the 500W are fine for the card?

The 470 is what you want. It'll plug right in and your power supply should be able to handle it. Bottlenecking only means one component will limit the performance of another component. In your case you might not get as high a framerate as someone else with a 470 and a faster CPU. This doesn't matter though because YOU will still get good performance in your games at 1080p.
