CPU decision

[kd35]

i5 4440 + B85

i5 4570 + B85

FX 6300/8320 + M5A97 + CM 212

 

Which is best for gaming? I only play CS GO, NBA 2K and GTA (including V if it happens). No Crysis, BF and other heavier games. If I choose AMD I will overclock.

Which is more future proof? Could I buy mid-high end GPU 2-3y from now and run it without bottleneck? And will one of these last 4y and not be shit then?

4570 or 8320, probably 4570 since those games need single core performance

8320 and any 990X motherboard

single thread games/apps + 8320 = not fun times

he would still get better performance then a non OCing 4670

4570+B85 all the way. It's all you need.

That's what I think would be the best. How long would 4570 carry mid-high end GPUs?

nope

The i5 will have no problems, even for multiple GPU configurations.

Very well. Buy it.

 

jk, buy whatever you want. But I think for the price, the Intel option is the better option; it's the decision I'd make if hypothetically, I was in your position.

i5-4670k + Z87.  If you live near a microcenter, you will find these two bundled together for around $300 in-store pickup only.

 

i5-4670k + ASRock Z87 Extreme4 Bundle for $307 after tax.

 

If you don't ever plan on going SLI:

 

i5-4670k + MSI Z87-G41 for $277 after tax.

Damn that's cheap. I'm from Croatia (EU)  .

4670k and z87 costs me 78$ more than 4570 + b85.

I think 4570 will do it for me.

If and when all cores are used, which isn't as often as you would think. Even an i3 can outperform an FX-9590 in single threaded applications, the architecture is generally just poor in performance.
