Another 270 X question

[LoneWolf13]

Would anyone know if a Intel Core i3-2120 3.3ghz would limit/bottleneck a r9 270X?

It's just I don't want to fork out the money for a 270 X and find my CPU is limiting/bottenecking it.

Hell yes it would. I wouldn't go any higher than a 7850 with that cpu unless you plan to upgrade the cpu in the near future. Ideal gpu with that cpu would probably be a 7790 or a 7850. I saw someone get bottlenecked a bit using the same cpu in sleeping dogs with a 7850. However overclocking the cpu a bit will help with this.

Save yourself £80 and get that, that CPU for a lot of games will be the limiting factor.

Would there be any benefit in getting HIS HD 7850 iPower IceQ Turbo 4096MB?

With that CPU would you say I should upgrade the CPU first and the then the Video card or The video card first and then the CPU?
