Hi @arm29

Whats your budget?

There are several that would pair nicely with the 960.

A Ryzen 1200 comes to mind. A good basic 4 core/4 thread entry level CPU that wouldn't overly drown your 960 in data while gaming. (If that's your thing)

Do you have a mobo already? If so, is it DDR3 or DDR4? Whats it's make & model as well please so we know which CPU to pair with it. If not, the 1200 is DDR4 & is around $75 @ WalMart. There are also a ton of low cost mobo's that would make you a nice little system. I have a 1200 as a backup to my 2700X and it's honestly a decent little CPU.

From there on up the sky's the limit. All depends on what you have now or what you want (and have the $$ to spend)
