hi, so i'm looking to upgrade my pc so that it can last me a little longer. it's a prebuilt asus with an AMD A8 6500. I'm aware i should just build a whole new computer but i dont do any serious gaming or processing on it anyway. So the question is which card will work better if i just want any sort of gaming performance increase; The RX 460 or the RX 550. im looking at an open boxed asus 460 for £72 or a sapphire 550 for £80, both 2gb. i believe the pc has a 350w psu which should suffice but will get a 450w corsair if needed.
thanks

do you reckon the A8 will bottleneck either gpu?
thanks for the reply
 


depending on the game, it might and it might not
as the game utilizes more CPU power, u might experience bottleneck

but on overall normal usage, i don't think it will
