I have a amd fx-8100 and a r9 270. Should i buy a 8350, or an r9 280x? My tv is only 1360x768, but my current cpu bottlenecks the hell out of the 270.

No you don't need a new GPU for that cancer res.

You probably have like 4gb of ram, that's your problem. Get 8 if you game. Also, if you have a very old HDD it will slow you down (talking pre SATAII)

You should go Intel on the CPU. i3-4170 plus a cheap Gigabyte H81 mobo. Don't upgrade from a shitty AMD chip to a slightly less shitty AMD chip.

>hey guys guys
>i have cpu bottleneck
>should i buy new cpu or gpu?
well fuck me, worst dilemma ever
first you should do is go hustle 100$ and buy yourself a 1080p monitor you idiot
>AMD
the answer is obvious, you need to replace both your cpu and gpu.
I can't be bothered to check benchmarks, but unless the FX 8100 is shittier than the FX 6300 there's no way in hell an R9 270 is being bottlenecked. It's just not that powerful of a GPU in the first place.

Shit I also just realized you're running at 1360x768. What the fuck dude. Every single game will run fine on a 270 at that resolution. You're just a retard. Upgrade your monitor.
