So for the past couple of days ive been doing some research on some pc's that i will be ordering this weekend but which combo do I go for ?

i3 + R9 270 or Athlon x4 860k OC + gtx 960

Which one will give me the better performance over the two for WoW but i'm slightly leaning towards the gtx 960 combo as i will be using shadow play ( for streaming) so if the difference inst that big then I will go for that one .

Thanks

i3 and 270, although mostly anything will rek WoW, but If you can do i3 and 960 I believe it would be a bit better

Slightly out of budget man sorry

Well if you can squeeze out a bit more it's definitely worth it

A G3258 may be a better combo with the 960, and its alot cheaper than the I3 most likely, and its a great overclocker from what i hear 

G3258 is nice, it has big overclocking headroom and great for gaming but no hyperthreading. It's cheaper though, choice is up to you.

Well if your going for a good price then the G3258 would be a good option, hyper threading wouldnt really be needed especially for something in this range
