The Athlon II 860k above or an FX 6300 are your best bets for a budget build. These will run with a low end i5 in most games. The 270 or 280 would be better, but the 260 recommended above will me OK for medium details.
Is cheaper, no need for expensive mobo is better up from 1 to 4 threads vs FX in some games catching with i3 in a few is equal.
You can buy better GPU
No need for a case or HDD ok PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
