It depends on the game you play, and if you overclock.

It's a pretty good pairing imo though, especially since the motherboard easily allows you to upgrade in the future, and the CPU won't do too much harm, even in games like BF4. Especially if you use mantle

Can you provide a budget before S&H and tax?
