Budget 1151 CPU options

[Optiplex11]

What is the best 1151 socket CPU within a reasonable price range for gaming? I also need a motherboard and RAM but it will come later. Since I'm on a budget, about $120 is the most I will spend on a CPU. Any ideas?

Ebay 8700k for about 100 bucks. Not sure why you want to go so old tech here especially since you need motherboard and ram too.

You should really wait until you've got the budget for the whole build.

I'd consider a console at that price point, by the time you assemble your computer it's still a >7 year old computer.
