Just as you requested, here it is exactly what I have in mind.
Find compatible GPUs that won’t cause bottlenecks and let you maintain around 60 FPS.
It works well for gaming... other choices exist if you have the budget. Many who buy an i3-4150 aren't targeting a GTX980, so limiting performance isn't a big concern. We've heard claims like "outdated soon" or "6-core titles arriving soon" each year since 2012, but it hasn't changed. DirectX 12 already cuts down CPU workload.
