Hi everyone,

I just bought an R9 270X but i'm suddenly wondering whether my system will be able to handle it or not, as it's getting quite dated.

I currently have:

Aspire M7721 motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 @2.67 Ghz (8 processors)
750W PSU
AMD radeon 6670 HD graphics card
16 GB DDR3 RAM


I'm worried about my motherboard being outdated, and also whether or not I should update my RAM to DDR5.

Any answers are welcome, thanks in advance!

And there goes my internet cred. thanks for the swift reply, I just assumed you could get ddr5 RAM as thats whats used on the newest graphics cards. Thanks for pointing that out!

Motherboard-wise I don't have any incompatibilities to worry about?
