hi i am going to buy a sapphire vapor-x r9 270x and now i have an intel core 2 duo e7500 and iam sure that it will bottle neck my new gpu so is an upgrad to AMD Phenom™ II X4 965 3.4GHz worth the money or should i just go with i5 3330 but this will be over my budget but i can pay it
so should i buy the amd or the i5 or stick with the core 2 duo??
usage:playing games like ac4,bf4 need for speed rivals and this kind of games

stick to core duo for now check your motherboard bios specs at present if see if you can get a core quad 6600 or 8400 compatibility and m4 coolermaster cooler

because you have to replace motherboard cpu and possibly ram if it isnt ddr3 and operating system if you dont have...

what about the AMD FX-6300 is it worth the money and wont bottle neck my gpu ?
 


It would be very good. It won't bottleneck. :)
