Good budget CPU?

[Catbattle]

So I'm stretching my budget for my PC quite a bit right now. I cant afford a ryzen 1400 and a 1060 6gb. I plan on upgrading the CPU I get in 1-2 years, but not right now. That being said, what is the best CPU for around 100 dollars or less for gaming? Will it bottleneck the 1060 6gb? Can I overclock it and make it go faster? For reference, I plan on playing the following at max everything: Minecraft, Overwatch, GTA 5, Just Cause 3, Titanfall 2, and other triple A games. Heres my build so far:

Also I'm a bit worried, cause if I dont buy ryzen and a ryzen supporting MOBO now, if I choose to upgrade to ryzen later, I would need to buy a whole new motherboard? Would it be a better idea to buy a ryzen and ryzen mobo now  and just take the hit? 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

EDIT: g4560 is the clear choice. No need for any more input.

G4560 would do. Yes it will bottleneck a bit with 1060 but in general it's a nice CPU.

Best cpu for that budget is a pentium g4560.

How much would it bottleneck? Would it be a better choice to invest in a ryzen compatible board (and ryzen) for future upgrades, even if it would stretch me out of my budget?

If you're in any way considering Ryzen and can wait a few more weeks, the R3 parts should be coming out fairly soon. I believe even the least expensive SKU is going to have 4 physical cores vs 2 with hyperthreading that you'd get with the G4560.

 

Don't forget than you'll also have the ability to overclock on Ryzen 3 as long as you're using at least a B350 board.

Definitely considering Ryzen, how much more is it compared to the g4560?

They haven't announced pricing yet for the Ryzen 3 SKU's but I think the word on the street is around $99 for the R3 1200.

Might wait. Will see.
