It's just very hard to recommend something that you wouldn't buy yourself.
I don't think Newegg have them on combo-deal but how about an i3? (Or a non-k i5 if you could squeeze to it.) Even the slowest i3 is rated above the AMD chips:

Best solution
The combo with the FX 4170 is pretty good but you can do even better.Also the GTX 660 Ti is a really bad card for the money.You can get a HD 7950 instead which is faster, more overclockable, more future proof, with better compute performance and also much much better when using MSAA.
This is the cheapest, good HD 7950
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
And this is 20% faster.

Here is the best CPU + Motherboard combo you can do in this price range.

And here is the one you should get if you really want an AMD CPU.

The reason why people advise you to buy a Intel CPU instead of an AMD one is because Intel's archetecture is more efficient.
Intels archetecture is on avarage 50% faster than AMD's FX per clock cycle.This means that a Intel processor clocked at 3 GHZ will be as fast as a AMD FX at 4.5 for single threaded tasks.
That's why even though AMD processors have more cores and those cores are clocked higher they still can't outperform their intel competitors.The only two AMD Processors that have unbeatable value are the AMD Phenom II X4 965 and AMD FX 8120.And they only shine once overclocked.

GTX 660 Ti beating a 7950 at 1920 resolution.

Quote:
"As it stands, AMD’s position correctly reflects their performance; the GTX 660 Ti is a solid and relatively consistent 10-15% faster than the 7870, while the 7950 is anywhere between a bit faster to a bit slower depending on what benchmarks you favor. Of course when talking about the 7950 the “anything but equal” maxim still applies here, if not more so than with the GTX 670. The GTX 660 Ti is anywhere 50% ahead of the 7950 and 25% behind it, and everywhere in between.Coupled with the tight pricing between all of these cards, this makes it very hard to make any kind of meaningful recommendation here for potential buyers. Compared to the 7870 the GTX 660 Ti is a solid buy if you can spare the extra $20, though it’s not going to be a massive difference. The performance difference is going to be just enough that AMD is going to need to trim prices a bit more to secure the 7870’s position."

I used to have an i5 2400k and that was better than my current 965be but tbh bro you wont see the difference past 60fps in games so if you want so save money but still play bf3 online in ultra get the 965be but if you want something which is just that bit more powerful go with the i5.
Both good cpus you will be very happy with either.

Some benches for your consideration.
It is possible to Oc the 965 to ridicules proportions so it will be ok even for a few years.
