Hello. I have a gateway dx4840 15c. I have recently updated most of my pc hardware. INew psu in xfx core 550W, new gpu in sapphire r9 270 dualX, new 2 sticks of memory in ripjaws X series for a total of 8gb, 1tb hardrive and a new 27 inch benq monitor. I forgot to mention my processor is intel core i5. My question is simple: will this bottleneck under heavy pressure as I will only be using this for playinggraphic intense games.
 
Solution
Any 1155 or 1150 i5 is fine with whatever GPU you want to put with it. The GPU will still be the slower of the two parts. Your setup should work just fine.
