Well your not exactly stating a budget but an i3 or Pentium G3258 overclocked on an H81 motherboard with the same ram will most likely do a better job at gaming.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258 Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail= £53.99
• 1 x **B Grade** Asus H81-PLUS Intel H81 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX (MB-581-AS)= £30.00
• 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan GOLD 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLYED38G1600HC9DC01)= £31.99

Total: £125.88
(includes shipping: £9.90)

Though my preference would be an i3

• 1 x Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail= £85.99
