H himfour4 Honorable Feb 4, 2014 142 0 10,690 Nov 1, 2015 #1 I currently have an A10-7700K APU and it is bottlenecking my R9 280 GPU pretty heavily, I was wondering what would be the best CPU for gaming that won't bottleneck my R9 280, and also the MOBO to go with it for a budget of around 400-500$ Thanks!

H himfour4 Honorable Feb 4, 2014 142 0 10,690 Nov 1, 2015 #3 Thanks for the quick response! I'm thinking about replacing my case as well, any suggestions for a good case with features for around 100-115$ USD? Upvote 0 Downvote
