The best you can get under $200 is an i5-3350P, tough for just $40 more you can go with an i5-3570K, which is the best you can get at that price range, assuming you´ve not got a motherboard yet.

If you have an Intel chipset, get something like the i5-3470 or i5-3570. If there is a good sale on a K series, get that.

If you have an AMD chipset, get something like the FX-8350 (or FX-8320, if the 8350 is over $200).

I am sure these blanket recommendations work for LGA 1156, 2011, FM1, FM2, AM3 boards(there are more) as well...



Someone has to :)

It´d should the OP was inquiring about motherboards, which is not the case.

Nope, as I have not made any assumption.

Yes, sure, lets wait for the OP to manifest.
