im looking for a good CPU for under 200$ right now im thinking of the I5 4460 or the pentium G3258. Plus a good motherboard for under 100$ i know im a cheap bastard but im looking to run games like H1Z1, DayZ and more on high settings.

H81 will support most of the things you need, but usually has less USB ports and lower expandability.

If you can afford the H97 board I suggested above, go for it, you have everything you need (except SLI - which you likely won't be using anyway).
