amd a6 6400ki

Is it a bad idea to pair the amd a6 6400k with a amd r7 260 oc(not x)?
Thanks for your answers in advance

Yes and no.
Yes, you can do it and it will work.
No, as you start to raise the resolution and graphics quality, the A6 CPU part will start to cause some bottlenecks.

But, at least you will get 900p high/1080p low with that setup, depending on the games of course.

Would the amd athlon x4 860k be a better idea to pair the r7 260 with?

 

[Brunostako]

Yes, a much better idea.

The 860K should be able to handle up to the R9 270.
