Best Gaming CPU

[luke_2bossly]

What CPU Do you Guys prefer for a gtx 770 build??? I will be using an h100i for cooling and want the best Gaming performance... I know the 8320 is the best but I dont really wanna spend the $160 Because I will be getting Broadwell in a few months. This is just to hold me over pretty much I was thinking if I get a g3258 I can just switch my CPU when broadwell Comes out then I wont have to rebuild the pc.... Your thoughts and opinions plz

Amd 8320

Amd 6300

Amd 965

Intel G3258

[FireFox]

Intel Core i5-4670K/4690K

Intel Core i5-4670K/4690K

not an option. Did you not read the part about this is just a hold over.......

[Rorgash]

get a pentium or something and OC it to all hell, or just wait if able

 

or maybe you can find a older i5-i7 700 series or up i have a old i7 700 series and it runs amazingly well

Well if you went for a Core i5-4690K you wouldn't need to spend anything else, Broadwell isn't going to be noticeable anyway. But out of that list I'd get the G3258 but I still say Core i5-4690K or a 4670K if you can get a great deal.

yeah i am thinking pentium

Just wait for boradwell

[nokturrduk84]

i7

My logic (free to disagree of course) is that if you went Core i5-4690K then you have a good CPU, even though it is cheap I wouldn't by a Pentium just to change it out in a few months

[Enderman]

Get the pentium. It will be much easier to upgrade just the CPU then

Just wait for boradwell

Boradwell doesn't exist and it never will.

If we're talking about Broadwell then it won't be that insane of a change.

I'd get the 4670K/4690K now and leave it at that. Broadwell's performance increase would be like what Ivy Bridge was to Sandy Bridge, not much.

[Majestic]

If you get a Z97 board you can always upgrade from 4690 to broadwell.

G3258 is perfect ONLY if it's video games and you're NOT planning on streaming the games.

 

Amazing pure-games budget cpu

I've got and AMD FX8320 with a gtx 760 and it works fantastic i don't know if it a good setup but it works just fine! I can almost max out any game at 1080p with 35 fps average
