Hundreds of processors and motherboards are compatible with the R9 380. What is your budget for the processor and motherboard? Do you already own the R9 380 or any other parts?
I already own R9 380. As for a budget, i am flexible, but i don't want something expensive as hell. I am looking for a CPU and motherboard that will be good for gaming. Can you please list at least three recommendations?
P.S. I already have motherboard (p5p43td) and cpu (Intel core 2 q8400) that are in my computer.

The i3 6100 is a solid choice for budget builds. Your going to need an able power supply like the one i mentioned above to run the 380.
