Hi there recently i asked the community for some advice. On what GPU i should get without changing other components on my system. My system is as follows

  • I play on resolution 1388x768
    I have a Amd Bulldozer FX-4100 turbo clocked at 3.8GHz
    8gb RAM
    Coolermaster 500 w PSU
    2TB Ssd drive

The outcome of the last thread was two options the GTX 660 or the R9 270X i was playing on getting the 270x 2gb gaming card but was wondering how badly would my system bottleneck the card or even if it will. The next upgrade will be my cpu to AMD Radeon 8320 8 core si hopefully that will improve my system will bottleneck the card and if my future upgrade/s will be good enough. Thankyou

Please give feedback to whether my current system

the 270x is not a power hungry card unlike the gtx card's, he will be fine the power usage under load i would doubt would surpass 60%

good call... somehow I kept reading his card as the 280x, which does eat about 250-300W by itself
