Im making a budget pc and already have all the parts, all I need is my CPU, the best CPU I can get for my mobo is the A8-3870K. So I was wondering what the best GPU is that I could get for dual GPU ? Would I be able to support HD 7000 series? Or am I stuck on the 6000 series?

You won't have any problem with the mid-range HD 7000 or R9 graphic cards, so if i were you for that CPU, I wouldn't get something bigger than HD 7850, so if you want to play games like crysis 3 or bf4 you have to go with something like fx 6350 and change your mobo

it will be around 200$, but it's worth it, you could focus on your graphic card now and upgrade later,

It doesn't officially support the 7000 series, but I think some people have got it to work. So you already have a fm1 motherboard? You can get an Athlon II 651k instead of the A8 3870k. It's the same cpu but it has the igpu disabled BUT it's usually cheaper. It overclocks pretty well too.
I think the HD 6670 is the best that officially works with the 3870k.

Radeon 7000 works on FM1 mobos, but yes, it is not officially supported, I think his best bet is to buy a graphic card and later on upgrade his CPU and Mobo. or do just the opposite
