To be honest, you could just get the fx 8350 and a gtx 750ti. I'm currently using a gtx 750ti and getting around 200fps on high settings and 300 on low.

Did you alter your nvidia settings? That helps boost your fps. I'm also using an i7 chip. I'll take a screenshot of my nvidia settings for you. http://gyazo.com/0d740ff97ca70bbadd7f61118e974f3b http://gyazo.com/41d0d8d2d577430b2fa39ab2842cc56d

To change your nvidia settings:

Find your nvidia control panel (just search it in the search bar of windows)

Click on "Manage 3D settings" under 3D settings.

Change it to my settings.

I'm sure you'll see a huge boost in fps.
