Best processor for gaming ~150

[RedditKarma]

I am looking for the best possible processor for around 150 dollars. I have a HD 7870 and a screen resolution of 1600 by 900 if that helps. Also, i have no preference to AMD or Intel. I play games like BF3, Skyrim, AC3, and MP3. Any help will be very much appreciated.

A Core i3 3220 will do you pretty well, but you should really save a little extra and go for the i5 3350P. The i5 is probably a better value.

Best is to get fx 6300 cpu and it is best cpu around $150 and faster than i3 in multithreated games and also you can upgrade to stream roller cpu in future while intel's current socket it at end.
