Will my 280x be bottlenecked?

[wrathofcow]

I just purchased a "lightly" used Gigabyte 280x graphics card. From the looks of his other Amazon.com items, it seems as though he intended to mine, but never got around to it.

I have an old i7 920, overclocked to 3.3 ghz. The motherboard has SATA 2, and PCI-E 2.0 x16. I'm running 12 gb of ram at 1600 mhz. I also have a 128 gb Vertex 4 SSD that I store my games on.

My question is this: Now that I've upgraded my old 6870 to a 280x, are any of my other components likely to bottleneck my system in turns of gaming?

Thanks in advance!

It should be fine. gpu hasn't fully saturated the speed of PCI-E 2.0 yet. Your cpu should be fine.

Thanks for your response. Any second opinions out there?

You should be OK with the 280X. Those old i7's are still decent CPUs, especially with triple channel hyperthreading there should not be any bottle necking at all.
