Need help choosing a cpu to suit me

Hey everyone! My request is very short. I need help picking a cheap cpu solution to suit a r9 280x crossfire system.

What's your budget?

Yoavgat1234 · Aug 26, 2014

To say the truth I'm not really going with a budget, but I guess I would like to pay around 200$. I wouldn't mind going a bit above.

Sorry forgotten the most important question, what's your motherboard and do you plan to overclock.

I5 4670k or 4690k

Yoavgat1234 · Aug 26, 2014

The motherboard isn't relevant, since I will buy it according to the cpu. I do hopefully plan to overclock since I have a H2O 650 sitting around that I want to have a use of.

G3258, cheap and lets you get other better parts.

Hands down, go with an i5-4690K then.

I'm not sure the G3258 will handle 2 of these cards, and it doesn't support 1600 mhz ram which I already have. It's not a bad cpu, but doesn't suit my system. Thanks.

Get a 4690k, latest i5 there is and won't bottleneck crossfire
