Sapphire R7 260x good entry level for gaming? + What's a good cpu to go with it.

Is the SAPPHIRE R7 260X a good gpu for gaming on 1080p with 30+ fps and if so what would be a good cpu with it?

pretty much any CPU would be good but how much money do you intend on spending? I´d recomend an intel i5

Definitely probably more than 30 depending on what games you're gonna play and the graphic settings. An i5 would do you just fine in the 200-230$ price range. But if you're willing to spend about 30-40$ more on a 270x. It's definitely worth it. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1044?vs=1043

Do not buy the R7 260X. A lot of people are suffering from BSOD and it has issues with its drivers. Stay away from this card. -R7 260X user
