I'd sooner go with the Pentium but if you're sticking with AMD you could look into the Athlon II X4 750K/760K though that is FM2 not AM3 I think.

I saw an 8350 for $120 once. So... I'm not so sure. 

 

Edit: A couple times, actually.

With motherboard and ram that came about to 210 with shipping/tax. i'd like to stay around 180

I need ram/motherboard as well. so that would be over 220ish with tax/shipping

I would personally look into a cheap Gigabyte or Asus Z97 board and get that unlocked Pentium G3258

Wouldn't go with that. If you want an inexpensive 4 core, go with the Athlon II X4. It's only about $100, and you can get really nice performance out of it.

I will get the 760K because its a good comprimise between price/performance, you can play all games with it, but you wont be able to run a livestream of BF4 in 1080p on this cpu ;)

 Yeah, I figured but i mainly play cs go WoW(iraid25manthatshitrapesyourcpu) and i like to do stuff in the background. right now my cpu is always at 90-100% useage playing wow and cs go

 

 

but anyone have links for a good combo for the 760k for ram/mb, i can never get it under 200

 

I mean for 130 for the cpu AND motherboard that seems like a good deal for a quadcore

look,a bulldozer chip is worse than previous gen,phenom 2. i hope you get it. however in wow,in 25man raid,you won`t see improvements with amd. any amd.if you only play those type of games like mmos rpgs,get pentium haswell and i mean it. in some the performance is double

Its stupid to get this CPU over the unlocked pentium. Intel just clearly offers you a better value, you're just paying for a cpu with 2008 single core performance nothing more or less

You don't have to get a Z97 board though.

 

 
CPU: Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($59.98 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($44.99 @ Micro Center) 
Total: $104.97
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Your priority is single core performance, a dualcore is all thats needed for WoW anything higher can't make the difference because the game engine is on 2 threads.

An extra $10 or so can get you the unlocked Pentium
