Hello, so today i finally can order some new card for my pc to replace my dead gtx 460 se.

I want to ask if it will not bottleneck with this setup:

Motherboard: h61m-vs
CPU: I3-2100
Ram: 6gb DDR3
PSU: 500w, still considering which one to get.

Also if my motherboard supports only PCIE or whatever 2.0 not 3.0, it's a big deal?

Thanks for reading :).

Asus Radeon R9 270X DirectCU II TOP 2GB Tomorrow im going to buy this one, hopefully it's a good card :p.

And it's almost the one option i have, so i went with 270x instead of 270.. Im hoping it will fit with my pc

go for a 750 ti then, or a 270x which outperforms the 750Ti by quite abit and is only about 10 percent slower than a 760

^ True but the R9 270X also draws a lot more power, some require 1x6 and 1x8 pin PCI-E leads to run and they ALL need two 6 pin leads to run.
@ pifin: No there will be no bottleneck, the i3 is a fine little gaming chip and not even very high end cards would be restricted by a PCI-E 2.0 x16 link.
