    Well Welcome to the forum Fehya!

    And intel has allot of good older cpu's for under 100$
    a Xeon x5670 or x5680 can be found for well under 100$ (I got my x5670 for 43$) and those old x58 motherboards are solid overclockers, and being a 6 core 12 thread server cpu they can handle a load very well,
    But to keep up with the latest games and resolutions overclocking them is a good choice. these cpu's use the lga1366 socket and usually run ddr3 ram @1333mhz 

    Even some older i7 cpu's can be really good. but its hard to beat a xeons price
    PS: I love the profile pic :3

    Id honestly take any overclock off that you have, and try without it

    Fluffy Zyox got a reaction from Mira Yurizaki in more cores or more threads?   
    Id go with whatever has a higher clock speed, To give you an idea my 4 core 8 thred Skylake i7-6700k at 4.2ghz beats my 12 core 24 thread xeon build at 3ghz in games. quite noticeably. even using the exact same gpu in both builds.

    Id recommend absolutely getting a ups, we have some weird power here (surges and outages), and it killed my motherboard! Its definitely worth it if you don't want to not have hardware problems... replacing my motherboard cost more then the darn ups would have been.
