Well if you find cheap used cpu like 560 or 660 or i7 then you can try that.
But new ones are better so if you have enough money to buy LGA 1150 mobo + cpu then go for it.

This is now good combo.

With good cpu cooler you can OC this perform way better.
Or if you do not Want to OC then look Xeon 1230V3 + B85 mobo.
