Help me with CPU choice

[Muath_]

so my card is a GTX 750ti SC. my motherboard is a gigabyte a68h motherboard

so i was trying to find a good cpu under $75 and i found these 2 Intel Pentium G3258 and AMD Athlon X4 860K

people are still saying that these CPU's are not that good and my gtx will bottleneck them. can you help me with the best cpu in my price range?

For your price range the best you can get in my opinion is really the AMD Ahtlon X4 860K, if you want to go for something higher you'd have to stretch your budget a bit. I'd recommend a AMD FX-6300 to pair up with you GTX 750ti SC which goes for $90 in the cheapest website, generally it's around $100. Here is the link:

Problem is, you have a FM2 socket motherboard which doesn't support that CPU because AMD FX-6300 is a AM3 socket CPU. You'd have to change your motherboard as well. So I'd have to say that within your limitations, the best pick is really the AMD Athlon X4 860K!

With your motherboard, the best choice is the athlon, as it doesn't support Intel CPUs.
There won't be any significant bottleneck.
