I have a Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz processor and an HD 4650 1 GB ATi Radeon. I have heard that CPU compatibility with Graphics card is necessary to prevent bottlenecks so I looked it up and heart that HD 7770 is best for my CPU. Personally, I want to go for either R7 260X or HD 7770 although I do not know the price of R7. Will it be good enough for running latest games at this budget? Thank you.

The 260x will bottleneck, the 7770 is about the maximum I'd recommend. It would run the latest games at medium settings, CPU intensive games would have to run on lower settings since that E7400 really will hold anything decent back nowadays.

With R7 260X, even if the CPU does not let the GPU perform at its optimum limiting the FPS for example, would it cause any other problem relating to hardware or just that I would not get full performance in which case I might be going for R7 260X and in the future would take another CPU.
