A while back my old computer had a catastrophic accident and I had to put together a budget rig with a G3258 and gtx 750. This little cpu has served me well with some OC, but recently the Star Citizen devs stopped supporting dual core cpu's and the game can't work unless you have 4 processor threads anymore.

I'm looking for budget options, intel or amd, that would fit my mobo's LGA 1150 socket, have at least 4 threads, and match my G3258's power. That or any other socket budget cpu which still comes out cheap with a cheap new mobo.

LGA 1150 is an Intel only socket. It takes 4xxx and 5xxx CPUs. Any 1150 motherboard will work with any 1150 CPU. Hop on Newegg and sort CPUs by socket (1150) and by price and pick the one that fits your budget. Any Core i5 will be 4 cores / 4 threads, and any i7 will be 4 cores / 8 threads.
