Hi guys,
I'm confused if I have to get the r9 270x or the 280x, let me give you a little background from where I come
CPU - i5 750
RAM - Transcend 4gb 1333Mhz
GPU - MSI hawk 5770
Mobo - Gigabyte h55m usb 3
5770 did its part for the last few years but since last year I'm not able to max out games in 1920x1080,
Thought its high time for a small upgrade
planning on getting an additional 8 gb RAM & a new GPU,
this is what i have in mind for the 270x: Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X with Boost OC 4 GB DDR5
just wanted to know if the i5 will be a bottle neck if i go for the 280x????
and could you also please suggest me a good SMPS for the new config?
Will I be able to play watchdogs in ultra 1920x1080 if I have a 270x & 12gb ram?
Thanks in advance
