CPU Combo for GTX 760?

[byalexandr]

Well, I thought I was going for an FX 6300 on a Micro ATX platform for my GTX 760, but now I'm not so sure. The AM3+ socket is already on it's last leg, so I don't know what I want anymore. Help me find a CPU, motherboard, and PSU combo for $200 that will not bottleneck the GTX 760? There is also the option of selling my 750 Ti to get a better processor, but I don't know what it will go for (make me an offer if you're interested). Preferably the platform should be Mini ITX, but Micro ATX is okay as well.

For anyone who asks why the PSU, my current one if an OEM TFX psu with no 8 pin PCI-E power connector.

EDIT: ALSO! It has to be more than a dual core. I do a lot of multitasking while playing games, which is why Iwent for the FX 6300 initially. A G3258 will simply not do.

What's the advantage of the 4160 over the 4150 and 4130?

Okay, I will go with this and eventually upgrade the processor.

clock speed, if it's much more expensive just go for the 4130 or 50.

If you can find an I5 for less than good for you. I'm running a slower I3 with an 960 and no bottle neck at all
