Hey guys...
I have a Radeon r9 270x graphics card and im looking for an upgrade as it can't max out at 1080p ultra every game.. So I have few bucks in my pocket and I've decided to buy the r9 280x for sweetspot at 1080p ultra preset.. I have a core i5 3330 processor (stock 3.0 and turbo 3.2)..
And a cooler master thunder 600 watt psu. Which has single 12v rail and the company says it delivers 47 amp and 85% efficiency on idle mode.. I don't believe that though.
Anyway i currently don't have that much money to upgrade Both cpu or GPU.. I can do only one now.. I want good gaming performance..
So is the GPU upgrade or cpu upgrade to a 3570k gonna worth it.. I don't want anything like future proof.. I'll upgrade again in 4 months.
And am I gonna notice any Type of bottlenecking if I upgrade to r9 280x?

Shouldn't notice any bottlenecking... and a gpu upgrade will be better suite for you as upgrading the gpu results in more frames most of the time.
