Depends on the price range! You could spend anywhere from a 6300 to the i7 extreme series...
But if you are talking about gaming here's a somewhat setup that will maximize the usage of that 690

This is just a general list... change anything for your liking. If you like to multitask, render, edit media and anything around that style you can get an Xeon or an i7... or if you just want to game then this list would suite you. You can OC that i5 but still get nice temps with the 212+. Furthermore, change anything you'd like especially the case because I just chose that one because it looks nice
