My main PC is an i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz w/ 8GB and a 3GB Radeon 7850 (won on the AT forums several years ago).
I mainly play Overwatch on a 27" 4K monitor, obviously with reduced rez. I'd like to be able to bump up the rez/rendering and get a bit smoother framerate to boot, and future-proof this PC for another year or two.
I like AMD, so I was thinking of upgrading to the RX 480. The 8GB version is only $30 more than the 4GB, so around $250, including a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter.
Is my CPU still fast enough to get the benefits of this upgrade?
