Cheapest processor ever or something that will pair well with the 6750XT?

I think the Pentium 4 w/HT is about when PCI-E first showed up, so that would be it.

 

For a more serious answer, what resolution, detail settings and framerate are you targeting? If you're after 1080p 240Hz or whatever, you're going to need a stronger CPU to avoid stuttering. If you're looking for 4k 60Hz, you're going to be shifting most of the load to the GPU and can get by with a weaker or older CPU.

Whatever free cpu you can find at an ewaste center or a dumpster

 

For something thatd actually pair decently a used 3600(x) for 50-60$ on the cheaper end

Hope he's not playing 4K with a 6750XT.

 

That said, I would look at the 12400 or 5600.

Depending on the game, if you want to stay on current sockets, maybe the R5 7600 or i5-12400/13400. If you're up for going used to get better value, i7-11700 or Ryzen 7 5800X? Check the recommended specs for the games you want to play and put a lot of weight into what you see there when deciding.
