I have an FM2 Motherboard and want to upgrade my CPU. I want the fastest FM2 processor I can buy, price isn't an issue.

What's the best GPU to go along with it without the CPU bottlenecking it?

Any suggestions are great, although i'd prefer if the suggestions were actually decently fast.
 
Solution
Depends on the exact chipset/motherboard you have. You can check the manufacturer's supported CPU list.

7870k is the most premium FM2+ chip available I believe, but it has onboard graphics.

860k is still the fastest since the APU is disabled and the chip will run cooler as a result (leaves more room for overclocking).

If you are truly limited to FM2 chips then the 6800k or 760K would be your top chips. Again dependent on support from your motherboard.
