Best gpu for AMD Athlon X4 860k

Hello, I need a decent gpu that will run the newer games and wont bottleneck my CPU, AMD Athlon X4 860k Currently I've selected the MSI Radeon R7 370 2GB Video Card.

That's the best gpu to pair with the Athlon. Any better gpu would cause bottlenecking due to how weak the cpu is, that gpu is perfect for that cpu.

If you overclock the 860k you can run a R9 380, anything over 4ghz should be fine

id got with a gtx 960

id got with a gtx 960

Does that work well? Hows the fps on gta, skyrim, fallout or whatever?
Do they work well together?
Any overclocking? And what motherboard?

it will have little to no bottlebneck on games, you can overclock it tho to stop that little bottlenext, but it should be fine without overclocking

Thank you
I wanted to get the 960(because i like that type of card and i cant afford the 970) but i wanted a cheap cpu that wouldnt struggle with simple tasks and would allow my gpu to work

I got the 860k with the R9 380X and i max out Black ops 3 with way over 100fps on 1080p, i OC the 860k to 4.4 and the core clock on the gpu to 1020 from its stock 970
