Which CPU + MOBO?

[fernandohg]

I'm upgrading from my E8400, and i would like to know which CPU would not botleneck my R7 265.
These options would be good?
i5-4430 , i5-4690K.

The motherboad should be the minimum: One PCIx16, 4 slots DDR3, 4 SATA, using only 3 USB now, no sound card.
I would like to spend more on the CPU and less on the mobo.

Current Config:
Core 2 Duo E8400
R7 265 2GB
X48T-DQ6
4GB DDR3

Neither of those CPU's should bottleneck a 265.

As for which one to get, it really depends what your budget is. The price difference is about $50 (If you live in the US and near a Microcenter, you can get the 4690K for $199, which is $10 more than the 4430 and you could also bundle a motherboard for another $40 discount), but if you're not going to overclock, the 4430 should be fine. The difference is mostly just clock speed and thermals (DC has improved thermals), plus the 4690K has an unlocked multiplier.

Take a look at the Asus Z97 A for a good board. It isn't very expensive ($140) and is a nice board. There are cheaper ones, though. Take a look at Newegg and read some reviews.
