What's the best GPU to mix with an FM2+ AMD CPU? i have an Athlon 860k but dont want ANY bottlenecks

MY PLAN ABOUT THIS : AMD A10 -7700K : Would that be good? i only have what the 860k is sold for + what i can get from selling my gtx 295 to blow on a new CPU
Basically i'm selling a r7 360 2gb because it's not great for games. i think ill get £70-£80 for it, then i can buy the 295 off a friend. then sell that card, and buy a coolermaster hyp 212 evo for the CPU and the rest of money goes towards the 1050 ti. THAT'S MY PLAN.

None of the A10's will offer any improvement. Your 860k is just an A10, without the integrated graphics, which will do you 0 good. You are not going to get anything better, than what you already have, on FM2+. It is a dead/low end platform. I said wait on Ryzen 5, which has not come out yet. You are thinking about the Ryzen R7's.

That would be none of them.

The 880k is the only "upgarde" you can get and it will be marginal.
The real problem is that the IPC (archetecture) of FM2 platform is outdated and weaker, the reality is that FM2 cant beat a haswel era i3.
Even dropping $160-170 on a pentium g4560 + b250 motherboard + ddr4 memory would show immediate improvememnt today and an actual upgrade path for the future.

That CPU would proabbly not even provide any improvement over the 860 you already have.

i can't use a pentium, dual core. i play lots of gta5, and dual cores dont work very well at all.

That pentium is essentially an i3, with a pentium name. It has hyperthreading, and isn't much slower than an i3 6100.
