I am pretty happy with my build except my CPU. I think it might be unbalanced. I would go with the FX-6300 or any of the FX-x3xx CPUs but they aren't available in my country (sigh!)

What CPU/MOBO would you recommend in that price range?

I'll add a picture of the (very limited) options available to me.

I recomend the intel core i5 I am assuming you will be gameing and it is a great gameing processor. Note you will need a new board for an intel anything asus or asrock is great.

The thing is... I am buying a 7850 GPU. Won't the i5 be an overkill? I can extend my budget a little bit and get a i5-3470 but then someone told me that CPUs should be 2/3rd the price of the GPU for a gaming rig.
