I have a Phenom X4 9750 on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-UD2H and i am looking for the "best" gpu FOR that cpu. I don't want my cpu bottlenecking my gpu so i dont want to go out and buy the best gpu on the market. Also keep in mind i have a 400W psu. (SeaSonic 400W 80+ Bronze)

  1. What resolution do you intend to game at?
  2. How much are you willing to spend on said GPU?

Well, then wait for the RX 480 benchmarks and grab either that or a cheap used Gtx 970 / R9 390.
