Hi guys im posting this because im planing on building a new entery level pc to keep up with with the next gen and I have become very confused about my choice of CPU.
I am really struggling to decide between the following two CPUs, and when I look at benchmarks and system requirements of new pc games it makes the whole situation alot more confusing.
1.The Intel Pentium G4560 ----> Intel Kaby Lake Pentium G4560 3.5GHz
or
2. AMD FX8350 ----> AMD FX8350 with AMD Wraith Cooler
From the searching around that I have done the Intel Pentium G4560 seems to out preform the AMD FX 8350 in almost all games like in this example. ----> YouTube Benchmarking Video
(There are many other examples of data like this such as CPU Boss ect...)
With the video alone the answer seems very clear however, the reason I am so confused is that AMD FX 8350 is listed under the recomended hardware requirements of many new releases such as FarCry Primal and Battlefield1. However Intel's version of both the minimal and recomended hardware requirements are asking for something closer to an i5 or i7. ----> BattleField 1 Hardware Requirements
Can Anyone please help me out with this.
Can I really get away with buying a KabyLake Pentium CPU to run newer games? I am pairing it with a GeForce GTX 1050 OC 2GB and I don't plan on gameing in 4K or at Ultra Settings.
P.s This is my first post on Linustechtips so I apologize for all the grama, spelling and formatting mistakes.
Also the reason for so many links in this post is because uploading images keeps failing.
