That's not the issue. Your processor is fine for the 260X. Do you have the aux power connected to the card? Card firmly inserted in the PCIe x16 slot? What is the make/model of your PSU?

No. You have another problem
Bottlenecking and not working are two different animals.

Does your board have onboard graphics?

I dont have any aux cable connected to the card. I'm not even sure if it should. Yes the card is correctly placed and connected to 2 PCI-e express connectors coming out from the PSU (850W). My PSU:

Alpine 850W PC Power Supply Unit PSU - silent cooling 120mm fan, PFC, 4 x SATA

thanks

Is the BIOS set to use PCI-e graphics?
Monitor plugged into the mobo or the GPU?

I'm not sure if the bios is set to PCI-e graphics, but my old gpu was Radeon 5500HD so it was the same brand. How can i check this?
Yes the monitor is plugged to the gpu. I have tried so many different options but nothing is working....

Those PCIe power cables were the aux cable(s) I was referring to. Is your video cable firmly plugged into the gfx card? Is your monitor set to the output you used on the card; HDMI, DVI, VGA?

Everything is plugged in correctly. My monitor supports VGA so that should not be the problem.

Oh, you're using an old analog VGA-only monitor? How is it connected to the card?
