The i5 6500 is a good option. What GPU do you have? What is your budget? 

i5 6400, 6500, and 6600 are great cpus for that.

That would have to be a Pentium G4400, but honestly it wont run games very well. I would get an i3 6100 it will be pretty good.

I would avoid the i5 6400 and non K 6600, the 6500 is awesome for the price and I agree with the others here that the 6100 i3 is a good $100 CPU. Under $100, I would avoid all of them, at least for what you want to do. The sub $100 processors are not bad, but they are not good values!

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special-_-

Sub $100 the G4400 is your best option. Around $100 the 6100 is the only sensible option.
