I need a budget Intel CPU that has the ability to play new games at decent graphics with 60fps minimum. I am looking for a CPU that is $100-150.

 

The build will use a RX 460

Depends on your graphics card

Most likely a RX 460

Is this for a new build?

Yes, I am recycling an old workstation PC into a budget gaming rig

If you're on a shoestring budget, the Pentium G4400 is decent enough: http://www.legitreviews.com/intel-pentium-g4400-processor-review-skylake_179724

Thanks for the suggestion, I will consider it!

 

Does anyone know of a cheap 1151 mobo that supports overclocking?
