So basically i upgraded my Nvidia GT 220 to a Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card. At the moment its paired with a AMD Phenom ii X4 810 which is crippling the GPU's potential. I was wondering what would match the gpus specs to get the most out of it at a budget price ?

Also i will probably have to upgrade my motherboard as well :(

For my budget i was hoping maybe around €200 if that is possible ?

I was looking at a Athlon X4 750K FM2 4MB 100W 4G Box Black Edition. would like to hear you opinion on this one ?

Don't get the FX6350. It's just an overclocked FX6300. Get either the FX6300 or the FX8320 if you want more power. Also don't get a 780 series motherboard. You don't want a cheap motherboard. Get at least a 970 series. Any 2x4GB 1600mhz RAM kit will be fine. Get whichever is cheapest.
