The previous Intel CPU suggestion was the i7-4820K. For almost everyone buying into the Socket 2011 platform will be a bad idea. I updated the page with Haswell Refresh (Devil's Canyon) chips.

For Intel, my recommendation is the '''i7-4820K Quad-Core 3.7 GHz''', which sells for about $323 USD. For one thing, this processor is easy to overclock to exactly 4.0 GHz without damaging it, but at it's base clock speed, it will still perform better than almost every other CPU on the market; easily achieving over 30 frames-per-second for the most part. There will still be a few slowdowns at some points, but they are very minor, and have little effect on the immersion.
For Intel, I recommend either the '''i7-4790K Quad-Core 4.0 GHz''', or the nearly equally as powerful '''i5-4690K 3.5 GHz'''. The i5 is usually around $100 cheaper than the i7. Even a CPU as old as the i5-2500K still holds up pretty well, easily achieving playable framerates.
 
Any overclocking that you can do to these CPUs will be to your benefit, which is why I suggested the unlocked variants of these CPUs. However, you will not be in much of a pickle if you get a locked CPU.
