Hey, I recently got a 660ti from my uncle. Well since im a low income student, I was wondering which CPU will have enough power to not bottleneck the 660 ti, at a reasonable price. Under $100 dollars if possible. Thank you.
 
Solution
I think a AMD Athlon x4 750K/760K would be about the cheapest cpus that would not bottleneck a 660ti.

They are roughly similar in performance to an i3 2120 at stock speeds and they can be overclocked.

Yea im planning on putting this machine piece by piece together. It's pretty sad, I have a Intel Pentium, also was curious if there are any cheap motherboards out there that would support the FX 6300. Thanks
