I am looking for a new CPU and motherboard to use with my GTX 750 Ti. I will be using the system mostly for gaming and light video editing. I already have the other components of this full build in mind, but I can't really decide on what's going to be my CPU and mobo.

Ok, thanks, I will consider that, but I am wondering if I should get an AMD Fx-8320 instead of the i3 as the prices are similar in my area..

The i3 will be faster in games and applications that need a fast CPU most importantly. The FX-8320 will be faster in games and applications that can fully utilize its eight integer cores.
