Hi there ...
I finally plan to upgrade (parts of) my old gaming computer, and I plan on starting with the video card, with a budget of about $140.
Currently I have a PowerColor Radeon HD4850 (512 MB).
I'm interested in buying one of the ... R7 260x, or GTX 750, or 750 Ti.
So first of all, which one of these is the best and will show me the greatest upgrade?
Also will I be able to play relatively current games, in high or pretty good quality in 1920x1080 resolution?
(As an FYI, my PSU is 650W.)
BUT ...
Before I even buy a new video card, I just realized that my CPU can bottleneck my GPU.
So secondly (and probably more importantly), will my current Quad-core Phenom 9850 Black Ed. bottleneck those above three video cards? As in will it be fine to go ahead and buy on of those, or not?
Thanks, and I really appreciate all your help!
