r9 270 r9 270 bottleneck?

[Cripple [Crip]]

So im looking for a cheap pc that can game at 1366x768 high settings (CS:GO , Dying Light ,State of Decay,CS 1.6,GTA 5) and then i came at this pc for the price of $400 

Specs :

CPU : Phenom 965

GPU : r9 270

Ram : 8GB HyperX blue (4x2gb)

Case : Some old case that has been modified

 

so will the phenom bottleneck the r9 270

Note im not from the US so i cant build a pc for $400

I don't see a bottleneck or one great enough to impact performance all that much.

Phenom or Phenom II? There is a big difference

[Cripple [Crip]]

Phenom II

[Mira Yurizaki]

Wanted to point out, the only way to tell is to find someone else who did a test with that GPU and against a variety of processors. You really can't determine how much of a bottleneck will occur just by hardware configuration alone.

 

If you want to upgrade though, the CPU is very limiting to your future GPU choices. So this PC is basically a dead end.

There might, but I don't think it will be too bad.

Think Q6600, plus like 30 - 45% more performance.  So not a great CPU, but it should get the job done.  It might bottleneck a bit but I wouldn't worry.

 

Also, I have to say, I legitimately burst out laughing when I saw that case.

It is clearly Phenom II because its not a 9000 series name! But that CPU should be better than Q6600 so its all good! (if not OC)

 

Edit: (use these settings)

You're good then.

I do plan to buy a Titan Vanessa-S for $14 and just overclock the shit out of it since this stock cooler he has wont do the job

+the question remains guys can this game at 1366x768 games such as GTA 5 ,CSGO,Dying Light,State of Decay?

my Linux PC with a Q6600 runs awesome, its a pretty good CPU on the cheap

Yeah it should manage well enough.

Wait since i have a friend who has a i3 3240 and he does not use it will it be worth it to buy a cheap 1155 mobo for $35 and just put the whole pc on the i3 3240? will the gaming improve?

[SageOfSpice]

The 965 is about at the end of it's life in it's ability to play modern titles.

The r9 270 is actually a very good match for it in that regard.

 

Bottlenecks are really dynamic though, it depends entirely on the load and how it's distributed. It's not like games distribute loads evenly like 50% GPU 50% CPU. There will be some applications where your system will fail, and others where it may strive.

 

This rig should play GTA 5 on medium at that resolution at about 30-40fps.

That i3 3240 would be a decent upgrade, and it would give you an upgrade path.

I think i will not even buy it,im thinking of buying the Acer Aspire Predator G3 for $500 

-i7 3770

-16gb ram

-GTX 660

-then later in the future buy a SSD and sell the GTX 660 which can run GTA 5 with the i7 3770 at high settings 50-60fps since i tested it live so i know its good but i will sell it and get the GTX 680 for extra power

That looks like a much better system.  I can tell you that 660 runs GTA V very nicely, and like you said you can always pop in an RX 480 or something else as an upgrade soon enough.

That i3 isn't much faster than the Phenom

660 is slower than the R9 270 so you may want a new GPU

[Cripple [Crip]]

Thats what i meant for just $100 more i get like a 4x better cpu with 16gigs of ram and until i see what card to pop in i have the gtx 660 which is enough for first hand use + a much better case yes it does have shitty cable management but you can get a 25 dollar pc case to upgrade if you care about that but i dont so i will just hide cables somewhere,the only thing i dont like is that fucking ugly ass mobo they have so i will probs sell it for $30 and get like a $50

[Cripple [Crip]]

i played on the GTX 660 it runs GTA 5 high settings 50-60fps 1080p and i will game at 1366x768 but it surely will not run games such as Witcher,Dying Light on high so thats why i wanna upgrade to a GTX 680 (same as GTX 960) since where i live the rx 480 will be like $400 + if the rx 480 is a bit slower than the r9 390x i dont need that of a fast card since i will not game at 1080p MAX or even 1440p im looking to
