cheapest processor to work with an r9 270x and a gtx 660

Solution
the 13 will last another few years easily unless you want to upgrade it. It won't break down if you look after it.

A 270x is better than a 270 but costs more. You need to work out a budget.

Hello,

Any Modern Dual, Tri, or Quad core processor "should" work well with either of those video cards, just depends on your use.

NEVER skimp on a power supply, you will regret it down the road.

Hope this helps

Corsair cx series is about as cheap as I would go. Take a look at this tiered PSU list:

Tier 3 PSUs are the lowest I would go.

As for the processor, an intel i5 4670k would be ideal. Cheapest I would go there would be an AMD fx 6300.
