Hi, so i recently picked up a new GPU, an MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Gaming X 2GB for my crappy and only Overclocked 3GHz Q6700 rig. But now i'm having the feeling the CPU is heavily stressed, which is of course true. So, what's the best Processor, RAM sticks(8GB), and motherboard that can run GTA V with the GTX 1050 for under around 200-250 dollars? I wanted to take a h110M and an i3 6100, but i thought that wasn't good enough for GTA V, since it's a very CPU demanding game. Thanks in advance. specs are down below of what i'm currently running.

[Message] Guys, im ever so sorry i've been posting bad, un detailed or upright stupid replies(like OC'ing a mobile GPU) so i want to let everyone(and every mod and admin) know that i won't be doing that anymore, so my apologies for that.

Current specs:

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 OC @ 3GHz
Cooler: Coolermaster TX3 Evo
Mobo: Asus P5QL Pro
RAM: 8GB, 2x Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 4GB DDR2-800MHz sticks
PSU: Spire 600w SP-ATX-600W
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Gaming X 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0
Case: Coolermaster centurion 5

If i forgot anything, let me know.

The Cpu is a bit over my pricetag though, since i actually work in euros, but 250 dollars is roughly 200 euros. The i5-6500 is 214 euros here, and i havent found anything good so do you mind checking a cheaper i5 quad core for me? i would love that
