What is the best intel cpu for under £170

[george_with_a_J]

I'm planning on building my first gaming pc, but I don't know what CPU to get, except that it's going to be Intel. Overclocking isn't a big deal for me, like it would be a nice addition, but it isn't essential. It MUST, however, be under £170. Thanks for the help.

i5 4690k On special right now and just barely above your budget. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-i5-4690K-Processor-Graphics-LGA-1150/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420816658&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+4690k

I agree with bignastyid, it is probably going to be one of the i5-46xx processors.

I thought it HAD to be under 170?
