Question I have an R7 260x but when i play online games it will lag. is that because of my cpu?

I use an i3 3240. It only supports VGA 2.0, but my VGA is 3.0. Is the problem because of my CPU?
my spec pc are:

PSU 420+ bronze
MOBO: B75M - HD3
RAM: 2x4 1333Mhz
CPU: i3-3240
VGA: R7 260X

By VGA 2.0 I think you mean PCIe Gen 2 (?)

Yes, its your CPU that's bottlenecking the performance of the GPU (VGA, as you call it), to PCIe Gen 2 speeds.

That being said, lagging is not just the cause of your CPU, but your GPU is not that powerful either. Even if you put it in a system with a better CPU, it wont make things "lag-free".

Your whole system is the problem.

Of course, we out here do not know what games you're referring to, but your 12 year old platform is most of the issue.
