Thank you for such a quick response.

I'm asking for 475€ (maybe 470), do you think that's fair for a good friend? :)

€400 ish,

 

4TH gen i3 will not be as good as second gen i5 in my book lacking in cores and not enough improvement have been made since gen 2. However the haswell remake pentium looks great check out linus' vid on haswell remakes.

Yes, and he can still upgrade to a 2500K for 150$ + get more RAM if needed

I flashed the newest BIOS, so it even supports Ivy Bridge. So later down the line, he can upgrade up to a 3770K.

Not really interested in a dual core without HT. And I believe an i3 should be enough for gaming for me.

I want to go m-ITX. I move my PC often enough and I just want to try it.

Fair enough I have an i3 to game also, but i still think the older i5 beats it.
