will an i3-2100 bottleneck with r7 265 ?

[Sajid Hasan]

My pc config is:

CPU : I3-2100 - 3.1 ghz.
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-D2-B3( Pci express 2.0)
RAM: 8 gb.

I am planning to buy r7 265. will bottleneck with my CPU or Motherboard?

if it does please recommend the best gpu for my configuration.

It shouldn't, r7 265 is nearly the max a i3 can handle but it shouldn't bottleneck.

that's not the way it works: it depends on the games you play:

BF4 will have some issues because it runs better with a quad cpu.

The setup should run fine at low / medium on modern gaming

Maybe yes in some CPU intensive games. Get an R7 260x that would be a good match for i3 2100.
Im planning on buying R7 260x with i3 2100 myself .
