Heres a processor that will do great with gaming
and a decent motherboard, but this is as close as you can cut it with a motherboard, and its on your budget. the Asrock z77 pro3.
these two will be right under or around 300..id say spend 10 or 15 more dollars and get the Asrock z77 pro4 instead, it has a much better feature set. (4+1 power phase vs 8+4) and will support higher quality peripherals if you upgrade down the road..

Like, i would love to in the future get a new motherboard and maybe overclock. The things i do is gaming, some rendering and stuff like that. I use it quite alot for gaming actually. I have a budget of $280 aud if you would like to suggest anything.

Im torn betweeen two options for you..a core i5 with a new motherboard (80 dollar mobo range) or an amd fx 6300 with a new mobo. I use the fx 6300 because i do 3-d modeling and animation. so more cores is very important for software like that. The overclocking helps use the 2 cores that DO get used in gaming, gaming is a second priority for me. the rest should suffice..maybe upgrade the GPU next, but dont do that until ur ready to drop another 200
