You can go for an amd cpu (vishera) not zambezi. Bulldozer isnt much good but piledriver would work well in yoru budget i think the 6300 is 150 which is 6 cores so if you can whop out $20 you got a very nice budget cpu
 

if you want to play gw2, buy an intel cpu as any AMD cpu will get less performance than even extremely cheap intel cpus. The i3 3220 would be pretty good for the build.

Not all amd performances get less performance the pd 8320 and 8359 get equal performance as the 3570 so please know your facts

The 3rd gen i3 would be a great choice it still has fine performance and most of these are better than most amd processors.

Also 130$ is just for the cpu you forgot a key component the motherboard... a simpler h67 or even z77 would be fine for this build but the i3 & mono together will cost more than 130$ just pointing this out incase you did not realize

Recommended: i3 2100 and an h67m incase you only have a 130$ budget for both

Best of luck with your build!
