I was thinking of doing an upgrade to my GTX 550ti, and I was thinking I would get a r9 270. I am kind of in a tight budget so I can't afford to buy a core i5 or i7 at the moment.

What do you guys think ? Will my old core i3 just bottleneck the card ? I also have 8GB of RAM and an old HEC Rapter II
 
Solution
It should be fine, maybe little bottleneck but you can use the GPU later when you buy a new CPU too and there you can even overclock the GPU.
