Solution clutchc Jan 22, 2014 The old 2.5GHZ Phenom X4 9850 is in the same tier as the older C2D E6700 dual core when it comes to gaming. So there may be a small amount of CPU bottle neck with the HD 6850. But not enough to be a deal breaker. Go for it. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
