i5-4460? It's still $190. The i5-4570 is only $5 more and offers a tad bit more. If you want less than that get the Pentium G3258 and a z97 board and OC the crap out of it.

4330 could do it with a slight bottleneck, I'd go with the 4690k myself tho

Emmh... Maybe consider killing yourself before you talk to me?

 

Pople on this forum though some of them had a brain, turns out, no.

I'm currently using the 4690 (non-K) with my 290 @ stock.

Works flawless. 99-100% GPU usage in every title I play (I have all major titles in FPS genre and a lot of semi-major to major titles in other genre's of Gaming)

Plenty of horsepower for your other tasks too.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
