CPU and Mobo for 750 ti on a budget

[ismffof]

Hello just wanted to ask what's the best cpu and mobo for my 750 ti on a budget, atm I'm only playing Dota2 and world of warcraft, and maybe some final fantasy games on steam. Only have $200-250 to spend, still depends on how much is it here in asia, usually it's more expensive so lower than 220 is preferred, thank you and have a nice day!

If you're just looking for a board and CPU, I would recommend getting the AMD Athlon X4 860k and a Gigabyte FM2 Board. Should run you under $140.

Or you can get a Pentium G3258 with a corresponding board. It's 10$ cheaper but its dual core hyperthreaded. The mobo would be about 60$ if you can shop and the CPU is around $60 on Amazon.

Really the 750ti is not a strong card. I frequently have GPU bottlenecks in Planetside 2 with a FX 4300 on my old rig.

Bottlenecking is an overused term. The 750 ti is actually very decent and should be able to handle DOTA 2 and other games without a sweat. Also, the Pentium G3258 is NOT hyperthreaded, so you would more than likely get worse performance from the g3258 than you would the Athlon X4.
