I wanted to buy a radeon r9 270x 4gb. So i just wish to know if it will bottlneck my q9400 or not? If it will, which will be the best gpu for my cpu. Thanks
 
Solution
you could overclock you Q9400 depending on the motherboards it is mounted on it
I ran a Q8300 8GB DDR2 with a HD 7770 on it and it did not bottleneck

and these cards are almost identical power on compare charts, since you Q9400 is more power than my Q8300 I would say go for it
of course I assume you have 8GB of ram going on your board
