Best CPU/APU for FM2+/FM2 socket?

[BewareTheSilence]

I have a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H and an R9 280X. What processor should I get that wont bottleneck the card. I may be planing on getting another 280x in the future so if the processor wont bottleneck 2 that would be great.

I wouldn't touch anything passed an FX-6300 or 8350.

Well the best CPU is the 860K. An APU (7850K) doesn't make sense as you have a dedicated GPU.

 

And there is going to be a slight bottleneck on FM2+ always with a high end GPU- don't get a 2nd you'll find it a complete waste.

Socket is garbage

FX CPUs use a different socket from FM2+

Just go with FX and discrete GPU, or save up for i5.

The FX socket (am3+) is 3 years old and is discontinued I believe

So ? It still works and will be enough for 3 years to come, decent AM3+ motherboards are dirt cheap to get anyway compared to good 1150 ones.
