Hello!

I have been thinking about upgrading my computer, specifically my graphics card. I've been looking at the SAPPHIRE DUAL-X Radeon R9 280X. I was also thinking about upgrading my processor to an i5-3470k, but if my current i5-3450 (@3.10 GHz) is fine, then I might hold off on a cpu. I am worried, though that it might bottleneck the 280x, so if anyone has any input, that would be great!

Thanks!
