An intel cpu that supports overwatch so it can get 60fps but not really expensive 

[GTFREAK]

pentium g4400 is the best choice

I run it on an Intel G3258, although overclocked, at 4.1 Ghz, and i also benchmarked it as well to see what the CPU limitations are, and here is the results:

 

minimum FPS: 72

max FPS:135

Average: 100.975

 

Despite that minimum of 72 i only had it two times drop bellow 80.

 

So depending on what your FPS target is your fine even with a haswell pentium, or you can go for a G3258+H81 mobo and overclock it a bit, but due take notice, a dual core is not something i would recommend for general gaming as many games from 2013 onward started focusing on optimizing for 4 threads. There are of course some like overwatch, JRPG's, many japanese port and Fallout 4 that still run fine on them but most western titles will benefit from 4 threads.

 

Ah ok thanks a lot
