I have a Dual core CPU on my AM3+ motherboard , I want to buy GTX 1060 3GB to play Witcher 3 in Ultra at some FPS above 40 . I looked into various forums and realised that my CPU will bottleneck it .

Then i divided my budget into two parts

    1) A used FX 4130 (it is the only AM3+ cpu i found )
2) GTX 1050 2GB , Can this combo deliver Witcher 3 in ultra at 768p ? at some playable FPS .

Spending less than $90 would be ideal as you can still resell when your ready to replace the system later. If the System has the ability to overclock then grab a FX 6XXX or FX 8XXX which can be found for under $90. If you lack the ability to O.C then the FX 4350 "4.2GHZ" is a...
the 1050 is fine, but the fx4130 will be a bit of a problem. 768p isnt very demanding though. that's a tough call. one could only guess, but ill guess itll work in this case. people don't usually pair low end processors with gaming cards like that. if you can find a fx-6300 you will be much better off.

Dropping down to 768P and bumping up to Ultra is going to give you around the same results. Moving to a FX 6300 isn't going to gain you much at over a FX 4130 unless you Overclock it. I can't recommend anything above a FX 4XXX without knowing what you motherboard is because most of the early models had poor VRM's and ran pretty hot while running FX 6XXX and FX 8XXX chips.

That's the reason why I am going for the minimum money that can make me play Witcher 3 ,
I will build a new PC in 2018 JAN , with Ryzen 7 / i7 and a GTX XX70 , I will join a Job in July ,i dont have much money now , I have free time till July . So all i need now is a Pc which can handle 768p gaming for 6 months may be , i play games mostly of 2015 or before

If you lack the ability to O.C then the FX 4350 "4.2GHZ" is a good option as it has the highest base clock you can find for this price.
