What is the best GPU and CPU I could install?

[Thefirstbuild]

I'm thinking about buying a H61M LGA 1155 board and i3-2130 CPU for $50(with a bonus. This deal has me thinking. If I buy this board what could I upgrade to in the future?
My question is this. With all the video cards and cpu's we have; what can this board handle? More precisely what is the best GPU I could use and CPU if I want to upgrade.

First off all,which motherboard it is exactly?manufactured by whom? And in what resolution you'll be playing games.
For i3,anything higher than gtx 960 can cause fps drops.
Maximum you can put A I5 3570k on that board,but it'll surely require a bios update,which is quite tough job to do.
And also,on intel side,mostly people these days upgrading to skylake/brodwell CPUs. you'd rarely find a 1155 chipset based cpu in the market,and if you do find it,it isn't worth your money now.
Best bet would be to put a gtx 960 and play games for few years at high settings 1080p,for now.

Any 2nd or 3rd gen i5 or i7 and any video card would work. $50 is a good deal for that, but H61 motherboards are pretty terrible.


The i7 3770k is officially the best cpu supported.

I plan on playing 1080p mid to high graphics if I can. I think my best bet would be to offer $40 for the mobo, ram and cpu. Then populate a case with good parts and down the road if I need more processing power. a) upgrade the mobo cpu and ram or b) put a good i5 or i7 inside of it.

For now until few years,gtx 960 with your current CPU,MOBO.
Regarding upgrades,New CPU,MOBO.and not the new CPU with the h61 mobo.
