Absolute Cheapest FM2+ CPU That Will Not Bottleneck R7 260X

Jmurph01 · May 4, 2017

I really need a cheap FM2+ CPU that will not bottleneck the R7 260X. My CPU right now is a 7400k and is a pretty big bottleneck to my PC.

This one is quad core and has 4 times the L2 cache and a higher clock frequency. (So it's better all around and should work fine with a 260x)

That is not cheap

Any fm2+ athlon will be good. (760,860,...) they go for about 80$.

I have no idea why people are recommending APUs when you have a discrete graphics card. As said directly above, get an Athlon X4 CPU, i.e 8[#]0k or 7[#]0k.
