ok so i am upgrading my computer and i need a cheap but good 4th gen intel processor my motherboard of choice is the good old Z87-A  my price range is 300$ and the compatible processors are the following 

 

 4^th Generation Core™ i7/Core™ i5/Core™ i3/Pentium®/Celeron® Processors   so i need your help to find the best bang for the buck thank you as always and have a great day Linus Tech Tips community !!!!

 

 

In your price range I would keep your hopes lower than a I5 and a H97 board if you want under $300 or go with AMD.

oh and 1 thing to point out i am not planing to play big games like battlefield or cod just csgo 

Buy an i3-4170 and a GTX 950 then. Those are already overkill for CS:GO but there's nothing cheaper that isn't a big step down.
