So I asked on Reddit if I should get a 960 for my new 1440p monitor (would be upgrading from a 460) and most people seemed to think I should get a 280x instead. I'm a little concerned about my power supply because the 280x requires a 750w power supply, and while my power supply is 750w it's older and it seems like I'd have to use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter to use it.
Here's the 280x I'd probably buy: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100363VX-3L Radeon R9 280X 3GB
Here's my power supply: Rosewill BRONZE series RBR750-M 750W
I'm also worried that my older Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield will bottleneck performance of my new card.
Do I have nothing to worry about, or am I gonna have problems? And is there a card that might better fit my needs?
