What is the best budget CPU for gaming?

I plan to spend between 80-120 dollars for a CPU,Can you guys recommend me a good CPU in this price range.
 
Solution
i3-4170

Leaves room to improve on the CPU further down the line due to the socket.

Has 2 physical but 4 logical cores and hyperthreading.

Will work well if coupled with a decent GPU, which is always much more important than the CPU for game performance.


EDIT: Shout out to Suzuki for mentioning all CPU's within his budget, I am sure this has helped him immensely
