Best CPU for $200

[Seamaniac81]

I need to find a CPU that's good for general gaming and It would have to be Intel. I have around $170, I could go up to $200, but i would really rather stay at $170 for the CPU.

it needs to be a LGA 1150 socket type, forgot to say that

Well in that case, the Haswell counterparts: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460,intel-cpu-bx80646i54590/
The 4690k is another option, but it is at the upper range.

if you dont have any parts yet look at your local micro center. they have lowest price on cpu and have combo deals with mb.
