Hello, I recently purchased and built my first "Gaming Computer."
These are the specs:
MSI A78M-E35 FM2+ Motherboard
AMD A10-5800K @3.8GHz
1X8 CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB @1600
Thermaltake SMART Series PSU 550W
Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive 7200 RPM
COUGAR Spike Black Steel Mini Gaming Tower Case

I built this computer to play games at Medium settings at at least 30fps. Not new games such as Battlefield 4 and demanding games such as DayZ. I bought an Xbox One to play the new games at playable settings and higher resolution, but as I started to play my PC more, I really liked PC gaming. Now that I like PC gaming more, I want to upgrade my computer. I do not want to play really high end games at 1080p at over 60fps, just a playable resolution for games like Battlefield 3 and Saints Row IV(those are the most demanding games that I have).
I have looked into Graphics Cards such as the Radeon 7770, r9 270, GTX 650 ti, and other lower priced graphic cards. Will my CPU bottleneck these GPU's? I have a budget of around $200(lower is better). I can save up to $300 i really want to, so don't be afraid to recommend a different CPU and GPU. I am really open to suggestions, but if you can keep it on the lower side of the price that would be great.

Thanks in advanced.



 
Solution
From the gpu's u have listed I would suggest r9 270. Its a powerful highend card. It performs really well and it is cheap so get it. Also it would not bottleneck.
