Need help regarding new graphics card

[Pleo]

Hello everyone i have a question regarding a new Graphics card.

 

Im really trying to find a card that won't be bottlenecked by my cpu or motherboard. (i5 3470 @ 3.2Ghz) - Gigabyte GA-B75M-DEV

 

I've been checking on the RX480 but i'm not sure since I read that it can potentially kill cheap motherboards, which I have.

 

Performance wise im looking to play "competitive" games on low-medium settings, like overwatch,league,csgo @ Around 200-300fps  And maybe stream them. 

 

Does any of you have advice for me? 

 

Thanks

for the rx 480 amd should release a driver update sometime so don't worry wait for a custom card

Heck even some older generation cards should be able to pump out that framerate (well, 144Hz at least) and none of these games take advantage of DX12 or Vulkan, and I see no reason they will in the near future. So I'd put some of the older cards on the block too.

Wait for tomorrow's driver release which *should* fix all issues regarding the RX 480 and also wait for AFTERMARKET cards, since you should never buy a reference card.

Do you guys think my cpu will bottleneck this card?

Why exactly do you need 200-300 fps? Above the frequency of your monitor, increased fps doesn't change anything. If you have a 60hz monitor (which you probably do) then above 60fos will look no different. Get a 480 though, should work well for your purposes.
