would the intel core 2 duo e7500 bottlneck SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 270X ??

as the title says would this processor bottleneck my gpu ??
usage: playing high end games like ac4 and bf4 or cod ghosts
screen resolution 1366x768

Yep... bottleneck.

The R9 270x is a bit of an overkill for such a low resolution. On Ultra / Very High (or whatever the max settings is called by the game) it's more suitable for 1600x900 and not very graphics demanding games at 1920x1080.

yep. ac4 and cod are both cpu bottlenecked games... poorly optimized rellying on fast cores... furthermore your resolution is so low ANY gpu will be bottlenecked by the cpu at that resolution, no matter what cpu you use for the most part. Frankly, that gpu is too much gpu for your resolution. a hd 7770 is too much gpu for that resolution.

Save some cash, buy a $70-$80 hd 7770, it will allow you to play every game ever made at full graphics candy and 1366x768... and take the rest of your saved cash, buy a 1080p monitor, it will let you play most games on high at 1080p, and those it struggles with you'll be mostly cpu bottlenecked anyway.

It will bottleneck like crazy. You really need a CPU upgrade if you want to run that card.

will buying an AMD Phenom II X4 965 or fx AMD FX-6300 fix the problem?? and wich is better??
and actually i know that it is a great gpu for 1080p gaming but i am not going to upgrade my gpu for maybe next 5~6 years and its the same with my screen so i am buying it to be future proof beacuse the things in my country is damn expensive and the money that we make is low relative to the prices.

they both will fix the problem. the phenom II is about as fast as the fx6300 at the same clock speeds... the fx6300 will reach much higher clock speeds then the phenom II will and has 2 more cores... so overall it's the better chip.

well thanks a lot but i am going to buy a new mobo bec mine supports only intell processors so will this mobo Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2 work good with this gpu and processor or do u recommend me something better in the same price range also a new psu because mine is only 350 watt

How much can you afford to spend on CPU, motherboard, GPU and PSU?
