My friend just installed an R9 280x (Upgrading from a 7770). He's having some bottleneck issues. Looking at his PC specs, the bottleneck is obviously the CPU. Keep in mind, he's looking for FPS. Here are his specs.
GPU: PowerColor R9 280x
CPU: FX-4130
CPU Cooler: Stock
PSU: Corsair CX600
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
RAM: 2 x 4gb Crucial Ballistix Sport
Storage: 1 x 500gb Western Digital Blue 7200rpm
The most money he could fork out is probably around $150. So a motherboard upgrade might not be possible.
Thank you in advance.
