Best cpu for Radeon hd 3850 ? trying to avoid bottlenecking

[bprince6]

I have a Radeon HD 3850. I want to know what is the best Core 2 duo / Core 2 quad to pair it up with ? I don't want to just pair up the fastest cpu I can afford, I'd like to pair it up with a cpu that will ensure that neither the cpu nor the 3850 is bottlenecking the other. Any idea's ?

Thanks for the advice everyone ! I'll probably swing for an e6300 wolfdale, and accept that I can't balance it perfectly, but this should be alright for the money !
