Non Overclockable i5 700$ Gaming PC

[hoyda]

Hi guys, I'm planning on doing a new PC, and I really, really don't wan't to overclock, and also, I want to have an i5 minimum because sometimes I need a decent processor and AMD I don't even want to think about AMD. I already have the OS and the monitor, so I just need the box itself .

Any help is appreciated.

Why need an i5 for 700$ gaming pc? A cheap dual-core intel CPU + a good GPU should do just fine

or an 8 core AMD for the same price, lel, there is literally no reason to disregard AMD

Well, I need the PC for other things than gaming.

Even if you don't want to overclock, I would go with an unlocked processor just in case.  Anyways, the unlocked processor is quite often cheaper than the locked version.
