How CPU intensive is mortal kombat x?

[NassimHC]

I have an a8 5500 and I will upgrade my graphics card soon. I am wondering if my CPU will playable fps. If not, will a 860k be good enough?

You could play it a low/mid in 720p @30/40fps. Get a dedicated graphics card rather than an AMD APU with integrated graphics. The 860k will be a good enough CPU but definitely get a dedicated graphics card if you plan to play this game in 1080p.

Yeah i am buying the r9 285 was just worried about the cpu component being a huge limiting factor

It will bottleneck the 285. The 860k should do.

Actually, the 860k would still bottleneck. You'll need a better cpu.
