Guys please suggest me the best processors under 200$ which will eventually give the max output for my R9 270X !

And please tell me, which is the minimum processor,which should not botteneck my 270x ! I think my athlon II X2 260 is pissing my 270X off :bounce: lol !

for the 270x if you really can't pay for an unlocked i5 setup the fx8320 would do well, you'd bottleneck from the gpu before cpu most likely. It's a rebranded hd7870 and while decent for 1080p, it would never max out demanding stuff to begin with, probably play stuff decently on high settings though. Remember to get a good 990fx motherboard like an Asus one. DON'T cheap out on the motherboard....we've had many people come to this forum crying about their CPU being throttled due to sucky motherboards with no VRM heatsinks and bad power phases....

at the least get the Asus 970 r2.0 mobo (Not the LE version, it doesn't have VRM heatsink) but then you're losing SLI/Crossfire with 970chipset
