I have been browsing the web, looking through benchmarks and performance videos of this CPU and that CPU. I've seen many people say AMD is better, and others say Intel is better.
What I'm looking for is a reasonably cheap (under 130$) CPU that will be able to handle modern games. I do plan on doing some streaming and maybe video editing in the future as well.
I'm also looking for a good motherboard to go along with it.
( I was considering the Pentium G3258 for a time, so I paired it with the Z97, but I've researched it and found it's not what I'm looking for. I'm unsure if the Z97 is a good motherboard in of itself, since I've only ever seen it paired with the G3.)
My GPU is going to be a MSI GeForce GTX 960.
FYI, this is for a build I'll be doing soon, so I'm still shopping for parts.
