Hello all, I just wanted to ask if my computer would be able to run a R9 270x. If so, would my CPU bottleneck the card and what things would I need to look out for when running it. If not, what kind of GPUs should I use? Keep in mind that I do not wish to upgrade my PSU.

Computer Specs:

CPU: A10-6700 (Integrated Graphics)
Motherboard: MSI A55M-E35
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 2x4GB
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue HDD 7200 RPM 500GB
Power Supply: Corsair CX430

As you can see, my computer is not particularly an expensive one, so please keep in mind GPUs that won't break the bank. ;)

Your processor will be just fine, there shouldn't be a bottleneck. However your power supply is a concern, as it's on the far short end of what your system would require in power draw. That and the CX series supplies aren't renowned for being the most reliable.

I'd look into getting a good strong quality power supply 450-550W to be safe
