my friend is giving me his gpu r9 298x windforce 3 gb oc editon
and i also have corsair RM 1000 watt power supply

can i use r9 280x and crossair RM 1000 on my old pc?..
old mobo spec says it has (1 x PCI Express x16 slot )(also runs in x8 mode)
i know gpu and cpu will bottleneck
it only tamperary until i save money for new build

right now i no gpu install on pc only integrated graphics i'm dying play games
thank u very much guys waiting for your replies

 
Solution
You should be able to do what you want but, it might get a little tricky trying to cram the RM1000 into that chassis since it's a tad bit longer than the stock PSU. The PSU fitting will be your biggest hurdle. You will likely need to remove the hard drive cage to fit the graphics card (it can be done).
Yes there will be a bottleneck but there will also be improvement so I think it'll help
