Hi,

I've been running an i5 2500k at stock frequency with a HD 6850 1GB for the past few years. However with games like Star Citizen on the horizon, it seems I'm due an upgrade.

I'm thinking of purchasing this R9 270X - but I'm not sure if my i5 2500k is going to bottleneck the performance of this card.

Any help is appreciated =)

EDIT: Never mind, I've found a related thread - seems bottlenecking won't be an issue. How do I delete this...
