I'd say go for at least i5-6400 for DDR4 platform going forward if you don't plan on overclocking.

If you cheap out and get an i3 you will regret it down the road, trust me.

 

I won't say anything about AMD cpu so there's that.

Any i5 should do fine.

Like I said don't cheap out on it.

Save up if you need to.

If it's not urgent then you can even wait for Zen and see what they have to offer.

 

My experience is I bought an i3-4150 rig because I'm in desperate need of a computer after my laptop dies out on me and I end up upgrading 2 months later to i5-4690k as I deemed i3 is not enough for my needs.

In the end I spend more money buying an i3 + mobo, selling them off for cheaper and buy another i5 + Z mobo.

You get the idea.

 

So now I would suggest just wait a little longer and save up if it's not urgent for you.

What is the budget for your entire computer? You seem to be disliking the fact that people are suggesting i5's since they are out of your price range. I agree with everyone here, if you want a good gaming experience, then save up until you can get an i5. However it might be entirely possible to get the i5 on your budget if you trim money away from other areas in your build.

For example;

 

An i3 6100 and GTX 1060 would be about this much money: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/vFzykT ($370)

an i5 6400 and RX 480 4GB would be about this much money: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/wvTWbj ($380)

 

The 1060 does beat out the 480 by a few fps in most games, but you can make up some of that difference by simply having a stronger CPU. and in CPU intensive games, having the much better CPU but slightly worse GPU would probably result in better overall fps anyway.

 

My recommendation is if you want to get the best gaming experience possible, you don't just need to throw more money at your computer, you just can try spending your money more wisely.
