Intel Core i3 4150/4160 it is then

Posted

Hello.

 

A while ago I recommended a friend to build a new PC, as his old one was getting out of date. I suggested a build with the AMD Athlon X4 760K CPU, but now I found out that none of my local stores sell it. Actually, no FM2 or FM2+ CPUs are available. So I'm looking for a good replacement. He's a first time builder, not planning to overclock, so no G3258s here. Budget is 120 euros. Thanks.

You could overclock the G3258 for him. Also, a budget would be nice.

Go for 4150/60, those old haswell CPUs tend to stay at the same price point if they don't go up

I guess he can stretch. I'm not really sure how much would a 760K cost here.

 

Anyway, I guess the clock speed won't make that much of a difference?

 

EDIT: Apparentky the 4150 costs less, I'm going for that one.

If i'm not wrong I just saw the 4160 only 111 euros, it has higher clockspeed than the 4150
