Radeon R9 270X Sapphire Dual-X 2GB OC Edition Game Requirement Analysis

Radeon R9 270X Sapphire Dual-X 2GB OC Edition is a special edition of the high-end Radeon R9 270X.
This edition comes with a custom cooling system called "Vapor-X", which reduces the card's temperature under load, significantly and comes overclocked out of the box in the central unit that was increased from 1000MHz to 1020MHz, while the Boost clock is now of 1070MHz.
Expect little or no performance boost over the standard edition.

An I7 for this GPU is a bit overkill. Your I5 is good enough for most games and good enough for this GPU, no bottleneck whatsoever. Usually an I7 would be recommended for something like a GTX 970/ R9 390 amd other high end GPU's, and even then a good I5 would do the job. You hould however have an I7 f you want to do some activities that require multiple cores, because an I7 uually has 4 core with hypertreading.

Mine does use about 120w in games while the gtx 960 i had 2 days used 110w in games -.-" 960 is better in some games but not in all

Yes it will work with that motherboard.
Min. 500W PSU with 2x 6-pin connectors required.
And yes, it'll bottleneck.

Yes it'll be enough, mainly because it has 2x 6-pin connectors which is required for this graphics card.
