Best Gaming CPU for 200-230 euros range?

[Andreas1416]

What is the best CPU for gaming about 200-230 euros range and should I buy Intel CPU or ADM CPU?

i5 4690k no question. Although an i5 4460 would more than suffice, for games there won't really be any noticeable difference.

In case you ask, amd is out of the race. Their "best" cpu, the 9590fx manages to compete with i3 haswells, but is easily surpassed by any ivy or haswell i5's.

True^.
I would get something like this and put the extra 100 pounds towards another part, such as an SSD:
