So im on a tight budget, the GPU in question is going to be any one of the following:
7850, 7870, R9 270, R9 270x, 660, 660Ti.

So at first I wanted to go with a 3rd gen i5, something like the 3570K, but its way to expensive and overkill for my needs. I basically want a CPU that wont bottle neck my GPU (the ones mentioned).

A friend suggested that I should consider going for core2quad CPUs? But I'm thinking of the 3330?

I want the least CPU, the lowest and cheapest possible, and no, I can't go for AMD. It needs to be a 4 core CPU (not an i3, please). Thanks again!

Do you already have a motherboard? Why can't you go for AMD? The 3330 and 3350p are often around $179. That's about as cheap as you're gonna find.
