Hello,
I am looking to buy a graphics card, and I found one on sale. It is a Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5. I think this is the highest I can go with AMD dual graphics, but is it worth buying this or a 7000 series? I am on a budget of $100, because I don't game too much. However, I want to play some games, and at decent settings. However I may be concerned on heat. In all the downloaded programs like speedfan and HWmonitor, they all say 18 degrees Celsius, which is impossible. I went into my BIOS and running Idle for 20 minutes, it said the CPU was at 41 degrees Celsius, and the system was at 36 Celsius. My room temp is 20 Celsius, but in the summer can get up to 32 degrees Celsius. I don't want overheating problems.

Here are my specs:
AMD A6-3500 APU
MSI A75-MA-G55 Motherboard
8GB 1333MHz unbuffered RAM
600W power supply
19" 1440 X 900 monitor

My PC should not overheat or bottleneck with this card right?

Nah it is a great card and was solely build for performance on low budget, and less bottle neck. Only PC which are old like 8,9, 10 years will only bottleneck it. And your processor is good so don't worry it won't bottleneck.

Agreed with above users recomendation of a different card. But to add a note, it shouldnt bottleneck the card, but your a6 is a pretty weak processor. So any new and especially demanding game, you wont be hitting even medium settings on most if your playing at 1080p. Not trying to dis you or your setup, nor say an upgrade wouldnt be worth it. Just want to point out, so that your not disapointed later on. If you want to play new demanding games you'd need a i3 at least i5 preferable or amd 6300 and a $150 card to be able to play. Your a6 is of lower quality than an i3. If that helps.
