Will it bottleneck? and some GPU advice?

[Foldo]

Hello tech people,

 

I have one question for you, will my system bottleneck the performance of the XFX R9 295X2 too much and if yes where do I need to upgrade my system?

 

MY SPECS 

 

i7 3770k 

8GB DDR3 Ram (4GB x2)

XFX 6970 GPU (Will be replaced with the mentioned above )

Z77-D3H Gigabyte motherboard

Aerocool Strike-X 1100w PSU (80+ Gold)

Hitachi 1T hard drive Sata II (5700rpm) 

 

If I missed anything please do mention it. Also as a side question, Is there a GPU close to the performance of the XFX R9 295X2 but a little less on the price side (just Curious )

 

Thank you

nope, no bottlenecks over there

 

however consider getting 2 separate r9 290x or r9 290x, if you get 2 Sapphire r9 290x Tri-X it will be cheaper than the 295x2, and since itrs 2 separate cards the power delivery will be better, i dont really trust to power 2 290x' though just 2 8 pin connectors.... just doesnt seem enough power..

 

and dual r9 290 (non x) will be even cheaper

if i say a computer is sexy that means i give it the no issues award of non bottlenecking-ness.

Just looked at some benchmarks and I must say I'm impressed even by a single one (and it looks sexy as well) , thanks a lot for the advice

Get the 295X2, you'll be fine
