If you were asking which CPU, then the 15 2500k would be fine and easy on the budget.

Socket 1155 is the mainstream socket for our current generation of Intel® processors. Since processors in this socket reach all the way from the entry Intel Celeron® G440 processors up to the Intel Core™ i7-2700K you can count on finding a processor that will fit your needs.
