And i have a msi A88XM-E45 Motherboard (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HGLX9A4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Also i have a gaming rig so a good cpu that works great for gaming would be a good.

That depends on your budget. In order of expense/performance

R7 260x - $100
R7 265 - $120
GTX 750ti - $140
R9 270 - $150
R9 270x - $170
R9 280 - $180
GTX 960 - $200
R9 280x - $220 (This is the one I would choose)
R9 290 - $280
R9 290x - $320 (I would chose the GTX 970 over this)
GTX 970 - $330 (Best card for the money right now, regardless of only having 3.5GB of usable memory)
GTX 980 - $530 (The best consumer gaming card there is right now)
GTX Titan Black -$? (Meant for rendering and workloads, but yolo)
