Hello! I'm currently making a setup for my first gaming PC build, and wondered which CPU would be great for these components. running a pretty low budget for the cpu at around 100-150$ and I'm not sure if the AMD cpus are optimal for this.
components are,

Motherboard - ASUS Sabertooth Z87
Graphic Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED
Cabinet - HAF X, No PSU - NVIDIA Edition
Ram memory - ADATA 16GB DDR3 2133MHZ PC3 17000 8GBx2, Red AX3U2133W8G10-DR
PSU - Corsair CX750M
Hard Driver - Western Digital 2TB Green Caviar.
CPU - ? (Will AMD Phenom II 965 be good, as I got one from previous PC)

You can't usa a Penom or any AMD CPU with a Z87 motherboard, it is intel only. Also, you only need 8GB of 1600 MHz memory with a dedicated GPU, so you can either go with a different motherboard to use with the CPU or but an intel cpu.
