OK guys so I am planning on upgrading my CPU and Motherboard and I was wondering if my AMD MSI Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card will work with an Intel CPU? Thanks for the help.
 
Solution
Yes, the only advantage you would get from having an AMD CPU is mantle. I have two R9 290Xs in Crossfire with my intel i7 4770K. GPUs (Nvidia or AMD) don't care if the processor is AMD or Intel.

To clear your doubt i Will say that
It depends on mobo
iF your mobo has (check GPU slot if it is) PCI Express (most common type of GPU slot.)
and if r9 290x will have that slot too.
Otherwise it won't.
I'd say better go with a GTX 970 or GTX 980 because they are new, more energy efficient and more powerful.
