[SOLVED] Choosing a cpu for my 980ti

[FastGamingYT]

I am looking to upgrade my pc, so I would need some help choosing a cpu for my Zotac 980 ti Amp Omega. I would probably needing a new motherboard also because my current one is an Asus h81m-k which is ddr3 and LGA 1150. I am looking for something probably on the cheaper side. Not looking to spend over 300$ total.

This would be my recommendation, but with current pricing, can't do it for $300 --

I would wait if you can though for the new 4000 series CPU's to release from AMD.
Then you can either look into getting one of those, or most likely get current gen at a cheaper price because of it.
