Hello, please help and advise me..
My current rig:
CPU-AMD FX 6300 3.5 (4.1GHz)
GPU-Sapphire 7850 OC
Motherboard-ASUS M5A88 M
PSU-Huntkey 500Watts Jumper

Well i want to upgrade my GPU and I got few problems here..which is, if i'm going to get the new R9 280X the PSU requirement will be minimum 750Watts.. The 770 required lower minimum 600Watts PSU which is fine for my budget BUT i've seen so many comment about 'bottlenecking ' issues with FX 6300 cpu.. I can just go with 7970 and i will missed 2 of those new gen from both side(AMD and Nvidia).. However I'm willing the hear more advice from you guys here..Thanks in advance..

ok. first of all there is very limited bottlenecking from a fx 6300 with a nice little overclock on it. certainly none worth meantioning in a single gpu setup. If you were getting 2 cards in xfire/sli then yes... we could talk bottlenecking. but a single 7970 (aka r9-280x) won't bottleneck in any meaningful way with a 6300.

Thanks for u to have a look on this matter, YEs i knew 7970 will go fine with 6300 but is it confirmed there is big bottleneck issue if 6300 paired with 770?

nope. if anything it will run even better. it's well known that the fx lineup of cpus works better with nvidia gpus then it does with amd's own radeons.
