Another vote for the FX-6300. OC it to 4.4+ ghz and you will be fine.

So you want 4.8ghz on an H100i? Try this: CPU: 1.48V VDDA: 2.65V FSB: 200 Multi: 24X PCI: 100 Disable Turbo Core and Spread Spectrum. Turn on CPU load-line calibration and set it to "high" if available. Set everything else to the...

I'm assuming unless otherwise specified below that (a) you're interested in new parts only and (b) you're not overclocking. FX-8350 is great bang for the buck for your application and should deliver around 30-35% improvement in speed...
