Look at some of the i3 and i5 motherboard bundles here (click "Bundles" and brand "Intel") and work out what fits your price point best.

Though, if you're willing to spend over 300$ that i7-2600k combo is a great price, just keep in mind all "k" processors are unlocked and meant to be overclocked.
just don't buy a gigabyte mb!!! I can't believe because of $50 i chose it over an Asus. NEVER AGAIN!
