Cheap processor that supports DDR3 RAM (60 or less budget for a processor)

[mygruesomedays]

I really need a cheap processor that is "good" that won't bottleneck a GTX 1050 Ti, and I really want it to support DDR3 Ram as I got 2x4 gig sticks lying around. I would like to spend $60 or less on a processor.
Edit: Also need a motherboard!

If you go to 236, there's a good compromise.

Oh yeah, the i7 in that system will definitely be sufficient. As I said, still dependant on what the cost will be when I purchase it, but for only like 20 bucks extra the i7 upgrade definitely looks good!

Skip to the gaming benchmarks. You'll see the i5-3570(K) offers the same, similar, or better performance as the i7-2600(K) paired with a GTX 1080 Ti. So if you're budget oriented the i5 makes more sense.

Tbh, that surprises me a little.

i3 has always been a good low-mid range gaming CPU for the cost. Now the 8th-gen i3 hangs with the high-end because it's basically a 7th-gen i5.

*AFAIK the 2nd and 3rd-gen K series are the same as the non-K models when not overclocked.

Honestly, it's up to the cost of the system when I purchase it. Both models do look good i7 and i5. I probably will go for the i5 since it can give better price - to - performance.

Just look around when you go to get it. You'll spend more on the i7 but I think it may do better for a little bit longer. But if you are only keeping the i5a couple of years or so until you can upgrade, it may do ok.

If you are looking for a deal how about this.

Thanks, still not sure what I'm going to get, both sides look very appealing to me, and I'm probably going to get the i7 because I am looking long-term, but it honestly gets down to what I can get for the cheapest price possible.
