If you get a R7 260x the Anthlon X2 shouldn't bottleneck, but if it does you can OC. If you still want to get a new CPU you will need a AM3 CPU, since that is the Socket on your motherboard. That is a older Socket so this is about the most powerful CPU you can get. http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-Processor-Edition-HDT90ZFBGRBOX/dp/B003FVI2KQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408519529&sr=8-1&keywords=athlon+x6 But it would be fine for your setup.

There are different specs of that system but the same model. The one you have is a Athlon II X2, but another one is running on a Athlon II X4. If the other can run a X4, then your should be able to also upgrade to a X4 as well. For graphic card, it needs to be low profile, that means half the height of a regular card.
