Hi, I bought a cheap PC to do a bit of gaming and I'm wanting to get more FPS in game but I'm unsure what graphics card to get because I've heard the CPUs can bottleneck them if they are too good.
So basically my question is what is a good/best gfx card I can get without the risk of bottlenecking.. or any other issues for that matter.
Here's my system...
AMD Athlon II X4 750K 3.40 GHz (4.00 GHz Turbo) Quad Core Processor
AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB Graphics Card
8GB RAM
1TB Hard Drive
500W Power Supply
Thanks.
