best cpu under $100

Solution
Pentium g4560 will beat every AMD in single core performance outside of the newest RYZEN chips.

The BEST fm2 cpu (what alexsat) is refereing to cant beat a 2 year old i3.

Hands down the best bang for buck CPU on the market right now is a Pentium G4560.
Now due to BIOS support the cheapest motherboard you can use with this is a B250 motherboard.
While a B150 and H110 "supports it", the bios you will recieve right now is most likley an old one that does not support it, and you cant upgrade it with a non-supported cpu. Thus for now stick with a b250 board.
