I need to build a new pc but seeing that the GPUs are overpriced a lot, I want to build a new PC with my old GPU, which is a GTX 750 Ti that I use overclocked getting the performance of a GTX 660. I want to find the cheapest CPU and motherboard deal that won't be an overkill for that GPU but won't limit performance as well and won't have compatibility problems with Windows 10.
After searching through system requirements of some games on Steam listing GTX 660 as a requirement, I found the most powerful CPU listed with that GPU and searched for some CPUs roughly that strong. One of the deals I found is for a GIGABYTE GA-H77-DS3H and an Intel Xeon E3-1230, and another is an MSI H81M-P33 and an Intel Core i5-4590, but I don't know if I can overclock my GTX 750 Ti with those motherboards, I think I can't overclock those CPUs at least.
Those are used parts but come with a return warranty and free shipping.
I see game-debate.com suggests an i5-3470, which is said to be 9-15% less powerful than the CPUs I've mentioned, for a GTX 660.
Do you have any tips ? Are there any good deals around that level of performance ?
