Will phenom x3 8600b be a bottleneck ?

[Abdo basmy]

Hey everyone ..
I have an old HP desktop and I was wondering if my old phenom x3 8600b cpu will bottleneck any of these low profile GPUs (radeon HD 6670 , 7750 , R7 240 or 250 )..
If not should i replace my PSU? i have a 300w PSU / 4 gb of ddr2 memory / 72000 rpm 250 gb / 3100 ATI graphics ..

Thanks and sorry for my bad English 😀

Those gpus are pretty much from the same time period as the X3, so no, it won't be a bottleneck as such. You'll just be limited by the gpu itself as to what you'll be able to do with it. However, amd cards are power hungry, the best you are safely looking at on that psu is pushing your luck on an r7 240, or better yet a gtx750ti would be optimal. With that card, you might see some bottlenecking, but honestly that'll be rare, both cpu and gpu not being powerful enough for more intensive applications
