I am getting this graphics card(r9 270x) http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-gigabyte-radeon-r9-2... and I need to know if it works with the gigabyte 78lmt-s2p motherboard. also will a fx4100 overclocked to 4.2ghz bottleneck it ? I also have 1333mhz 8gb ram and a corsair cx 600, Thanks

It's a good card, and yes it will work. That cpu is weak, and will bottleneck a little bit, but not so much that games won't be playable. That is a cheap budget motherboard so that may bottleneck some as well. I'm surprised you were able to get a stable OC that high on that mobo.

Ok thanks i used some arctic thermal paste on the stock cooler and get 27 degrees idle, so will it run battlefield medium/high 50-60 fps ?

@ 1080p? That might be pushing it. Maybe 50-60 on medium.

U will be fine, but in older games that require good single thread performance and optimized for a dual core u may suffer but i dont see a huge bottleneck that may hurt ur settings u play on. Im surpirsed u attempted an OC on that board, just me but i wouldnt of lol if its working well then shouldnt be an issue lol
