If you have a microcenter near you you can get the cpu for $210 and get $20 off of a mobo

You have two options - an i3 6100 with a R9 380 or a i5 6400 with a GTX 950.

 

Generally, the i3 build will perform better but you can't go wrong with the four real cores of the i5.

 

Although if you could spare an extra $50 or so, an i5 6400 and R9 380 combo would be a very nice pair.

@HKZeroFive Thank you for the response sir! It was very informative. Im going for a MSI R9 380 4gb, but is there other options? for amd cpu for cheaper amount but good performance?
