Hello!

I will most likely get an Asus R7 260X GDDR5 2GB OC Edition soon to upgrade my system. My first worry is whether or not it will get bottlenecked on these specs:
-Asus P8H61-M LE REV3.0
-Intel Core i3 2100 3.1GHz
-Kingston 4GB RAM 1333MHz
-Asus P8H61-M LE REV3.0
-Combat Power 750W, CP-750W, 13.5cm fan

My case is Asus Vento TA-882, Middletower. It has not given me any problems thus far. The R7 is allegedly 8.5 " x 5.1 " while the GT220 is 6.6 " x 4.3 ", I am not 100% on these. Will it fit?

My monitor is a Asus G195HQV, running at 1366x768. I think I will need to buy a DVI-VGA Adaptor. I found a gold-plated (I think that's how it's called) one that is very cheap. Is that a good plan?

Thank you in advance!

Asus Vento TA-882 Middletower. Probably not the biggest case around, but it does its job.

How can I check if my system is bottlenecked, can you recommend a software or something? Thank you for your time!

I think my CPU has hyper threading so I should be fine about that. I saw another thread with someone who had the R7 260X and exactly the same specs otherwise and people told him he won't bottleneck. Thank you for the answer. If I can run those games at those settings I am more than happy. Would potential bottlenecking come from my lack of RAM?
