What would be the best cpu to pair with this GPU? Not an overkill cpu but a budget one that wouldn't bottleneck this card.
 
Solution
The Pentium G4560 hands down. It's the current best budget gaming processor in the world and is can even be comfortably paired with an RX 480. Ryzen 3 should be coming out soon and may take its place as the budget gaming king. Though the G4560 is still likely to be about $20 cheaper.
