another mobo/gpu query

[Slikone]

hello all, thanks in advance for any replies;

I have bought an R9 280x graphics card but someone said my mobo might not be compatible. please can some kind soul tell me if i'll be ok?
Also, if my cpu is good enough or if i'll be bottlenecked to some degree?

current mobo:

current cpu:
AMD Phenom 9950 quadcore 2.6ghz

new gpu:

many thanks!

Yes, it will work. The CPU will probably bottle neck the card slightly. Do you have a power supply that will push it?

hey thanks for your reply, I think my power supply should be ok as I bought that more recently, the model number on it is OCZ500MXSP, but please tell me if it is not. lol
here's a link to a site with it:

Also, sorry to drone on, but the slight bottlenecking, how much do you think it will hinder it? like 10% or so, or significantly more?

Have no idea, kinda hard to find a benchmark with a 9950 running a 280X. I'm sure it would some but have no idea. The good thing, its a good card so if you upgrade you can move the card to the next build.

It will be a perfect setup if you use mantle in games such as BF4.
