Consider 6gb of ram + gtx 650ti boost OC.
I want to run following games.
Dota 2, team fotress 2 Csgo and Gta V. (online games mostly).
I can get both (used) in same price.
I3 2100 price : 40$
G3220 price :35$
Lga 1155 mobo : 23-34$
Lga 1150 mobo : 40$-45$.
Recently I was using q6600 cpu. Sold it for 100$. The reason I sold it was my brother bought gtx 650ti boost without asking me and it is not running neither on Asus p5g41 t mlx nor on Intel p55 chipset mobo. But works fine on msi p67 military class mobo( my cousin is using gtx 960 on that).
So I am not a hard core gamer nor a video renderer guy.
Which should mobo + cpu +gtx 650ti boost combo is good for me.?
 
Solution
Kind of difficult to give exact part recommendations when you are asking for used parts.
Almost any used motherboard you can find in your price range that is in good condition, compatible with your CPU and RAM, and fits inside your case should work fine.

I'd actually vote Pentium on that one, I've used a G3220 + GTX 550 Ti for BF4 and it was surprisingly playable. Definitely a lot of CPU bottleneck but tbh it had more power than I expected.
