Best CPU for my GTX 760?

[ZemphY]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what would be the best CPU for my Nividia GTX 760 graphics card?

I also need to upgrade my Motherboard, any suggestions for that?

I currently have a quad core 3.8ghz CPU (FX-4300) and I can't remember what my motherboard is but it's super crappy (probably get it on eBay for £20)

Thanks guys!!
