I would try to find a cheap i5 (they are recommended for gaming):
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-2320 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($170.98 @ SuperBiiz)

Thanks for the quick reply. I will have a look at the i5's. Do you recommend any budget oriented motherboards for 1150 or 1155?an g3320 will bottlneck it maybe try an fx 6300 or fx 8320 they are pretty cheap an really good. Also great overlockers without problems
I was gonna get the FX-6300 but I needed something smaller. No AM3+ mini itx motherboards exist, and the micro atx ones aren't good enough.

True true...my recommended motherboard/cpu combo...
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-4130 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($93.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($94.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $188.98
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

This would be a really solid build, for about the same price as the i5....i agree with jaslion fx will be better for budget, also they overclock alot higher then i5's would.

I suppose I could put up with a bit more of a struggle carrying it around if it meant a lower total cost.

If they do exist, could you please find a link to it? It would be very helpful, but I doubt they exist.

Some of the budget micro atx boards are good enough to clock an fx 6300 to at least fx 6350 speeds. FX 6350 outperforms an i3 3225. An FX 8320 is an option that is close to i5 performance.

If you truly want mini-itx, you are best going with an Intel i5. A 760k would beat a Pentium G, and reach a low end i3 at best.

Yes one is a quad core and one is a six core, however for gaming you will never notice a difference. I do agree with logainofhades though the i5 would be a better (more expensive) route but difference would be really noticeable. With my budget, I can afford an OC'd hd 7850 2gb with the i5.
With the FX-4130, I can afford a OC'd 7950.
I assume I would get higher FPS if I went down the AMD route, correct?

Looks from what your doing, you need to find a case first and make sure the 7970 will even fit, along with the power supply, hdds, fans, and cables.
then you can see if its a mini itx or micro atx size case that you will be working with.
Edit: just a quick look, mini itx dimensions 9.4" x 8.2" x 15.8"
micro atx 13.80" x 11.20" x 9.00"
not sure what is critical about making sure its a mini itx vs micro atx.

Is there much of a difference between the fx 4130 and the fx 6300? Is it worth the extra £20?Yes it is worth it. The FX 4130 is a bulldozer chip and the FX 6300 is a piledriver based chip which is much improved. Faildozer was worse than Phenom II.
Did not know that....hmm learn something everyday.

new amd cards are launching in a couple off days the older ones will drop in price then so just wait a week or so its worth itYeah I know. I kinda miss worded it when I said soon, it's more like christmas, but I need to buy the parts before the christmas post delays.
ok but when you see that like an hd 7950 only is 180€ or so then just GO for it

I won't forget. How high is power consumption on an OC'd fx-6300? Will a 600w power supply be enough?
