Is this gaming rig good?

[KPZ211997]

I'm planning to build a mid-end gaming rig with the limit of 1000$ (Can't take any higher than that), right now I have these options for CPU and VGA:

 

A. i3 4130 + GTX760 (Zotac AMP)

 

B. i3 4330 + R9 270 (MSI)

 

C. i5 4570 + GTX750TI 2GB OC (MSI)

 

Main, HDD, PSU, RAM, case, ODD are the same for those options above:

 

Main: MSI B85M-E45

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm 1TB

RAM: Avexir 8GB bus 1600 (2x4 GB)

Case: Corsair Carbide 200R

PSU: Corsair VS650 (For option C I'll take VS550)

 

Right now I prefer the A option, but some people said that i3 and 760 can cause bottle-neck problem so what are your suggestion? Should I take B and C instead? I'm a newbie of custom pc build.

and a i3 shouldnt bottleneck a 760

c because you can easily upgrade the graphics card in future. Also, the difference between a i3 4130 and 4330 is a measly 100mhz

A Got strong GPU but weak CPU, C got strong CPU, but weaker GPU. Depending on the fact GPUs affect more than CPU, I'd go with the option A. i3s ain't that bad, only in some heavy multithreaded & online games they may suck, games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 4...

I'd go with A.

I say B but try to fit in the lowest end i5 the i5 4430.

I'd go with A.

actlually an i3 haswell doesn`t bottleneck any video card in bf4 multiplayer.and there are no heavy multithreaded games. even better in big online games like mmo`s i3s are very good. 

 

so yeah option A

It will. My cpu get's all cores & virtual cores loaded in BF3 while playing it online. For online games like Battlefield I recommend i5 over i3.

Thanks guys for your reply, really appreciate it 

 

btw, I'm not a heavy mmo or online shooting fan so probably I don't need a strong CPU, and sav1our said that i3 shouldnt bottleneck a 760 so i'd go with A. My monitor of choice is a Dell U2312HM and no peripherals needed if anyone ask me

[s3ns3]

It will

nope it doesn`t bottleneck . i3+780 Ti good to go for bf4.

minumum 10 fps difference...

''If you are building a system that is primarily for gaming, the Core i3 4340 will allow whatever video card you use to run at its full potential – there is no need to step up to a Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. The same could not be said for Ivy Bridge Core i3′s, or any AMD APU or CPU we have tested''
