I plan on building a computer with 8 gigs of DDR3 1600 Mhz with a Z97 board, a R7 270X and an I3-4170. Can anyone tell me how well the processor and video card work together? And if i should downgrade the video card or upgrade the processor? Thank you

you should proburly upgrade both eventually but they will be fine i have a freind with the gpu you have and he can play gta just fine so Have fun :)

I..I wouldn't do that...

An i3 and 270x will work fine together, but unless you'll be getting an unlocked CPU later, you're saying wasting money on the Z97 board

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
