i3 vs i5

[AMICLG]

I know you cant overclock the i3

You can do a BCLK and get about 400-500MHz so the 4130 can get to 3.8-3.9GHz which is more than enough for gaming and kills the G3258 in productivity due to hyperthreading at that speed so IMO get the 4130 and the ASUS H81M-C or ASRock H81M-HDS which can OC with the G3258 but can also do a BCLK with a locked processor.

get a core i5 that way you can upgrade to any high end GPU's you want when you realise that the mid-range cards sucks...

they dont suck...... an 760 with an i3 can max out any game a 1080p you throw at it.

hahaha my 4770K overclocked and GTX 780 also overclocked won't even max out any games out there !..unless you are happy with 40FPS...

are you going to play at 1080P?

You do realize a i3 780 running at 70% will make a 760 hit 99% right?

that's why i suggested he buy an i5 instead...don,t you read bro

Read what I said again and you'd get an understanding why the i5 is useless for a 200$ GPU.

read again and you will realise that all you say is non-sence getting the core i3 if he as the budget for an i5 is shooting himself in the foot...ask yourself one second what would you do in his shoes?!

Am I recommending a CPU? Just saying a i3 won't hold a midrange GPU back in modern games.

DID I SAID IT WOULD?!?!? READ!!!!!

I would get the i5. The i3 might do pretty well in gaming, but multitasking will be much better on the i5.

[connorpiper]

Get the pentium anniversary edition and overclock it. forget i3

 

Well.... The i3 could outperform the Pentium. (If the game just will not take 2 cores)

yes 1080p, in totally happy with even 35+ fps, anything better than my shitty intel core i3 2.4 GHZ intel hd 3000 laptop

i plan to get an i3+770 rather than 15+760, so i can throw in an i5 in some time

Linus did a video about this a while back on his Techquickie channel.

1. no 

2. 4.5ghz~ probably although you're still playing the silicon lottery. 

my G3258 is on the 212 evo and is at 4.0Ghz

if you are going for a 770, look into the r9 290, you might be able to find one for the same price

[i_build_nanosuits]

i agree, and if you go with such an high-end gpu you need at least a strong core i5 which brings us all to the original question again...
