[SkywardKkalox]

Hello guys!

I'm looking to build a new pc around the 500-700 euro price range i'm kinda new to pc building and i could use all the help i can.

I would like to have the most performance out of this rig.

Thanks for your contribution!

From where will you be getting the parts and also what games would you like to play and at what settings and resolution ?

I will be getting them from either e-shop.gr or look around all stores in greece at skroutz.gr, i want to just play more games and maybe some AAA titles not cranked up to ultra thats for sure, medium-high is pretty good for me, and i would run them at least on 1080p

Hmmm...

Seems like a good choice!

I might be swapping this i3 and motherboard to an ASUS z97-c and a Pentium G3258 what do you think?

Unless you want to play upcoming games like the witcher or games like battlefield multiplayer, far cry 4 and dragon age inquisition then it wouldn't be a bad choice. However I do reccomend you stay with the core i3. You have to get a good overclock on the pentium in order for it to perform good in games, and even then in some games you will experience more lag. Also the pentium + the z97 board cost more than the i3 and h81 board. Meaning that you would be paying more for less performance.

Hmm.. Yes you are mostly right,

though i will be swapping this micro atx board for something more useful you could say as im looking for a bit growing room in the future.

EDIT: I think the ASROCK Z77 Extreme 4 will be a good option.

If you are looking for future proof I would look at either an h97 or z97 board. These will support broadwell whenever that comes out and offer more features than the h81 chipset. I would get the z97 if you are thinking of getting an overclockable cpu (like an i5 4690k or i7 4790k) in the future. Z97 also offers features like sli/crossfire.

I will take what you said in concideration mate thanks for your time!

Before i go, i would like to ask you something.

I went on game-debate and typed the specs for my most played game atm, being league of legends, and it showed me that i would have a bottleneck with the cpu.

I was thinking if an fx 6300 or an fx 8320/8350 would be a better option.

The fx 6300 and fx 8320/8350 are actually worse than the i3 especially when it comes to gaming. Not to mention that in order for them to be run properly you have to get a rather expensive morherboard. Also no the core i3 will not bottleneck a 270. There are many users on this forum who have an i3 with a more powerful GPU and they get no problems what so ever. Don't use game debate to compare specs

Yup they definitely are, don't let the 6 core, or 8 core terms fool you, those are either 6 or 8 low-mid ranged performing cores and most games don't really take advantage of more than 4.

 

The i3 3220 for example has two high end cores which are logically split in two, hence it will deliver better processing performance in games

Well thank you for your time and help about this, i'm still looking around for parts and gathering the money needeed for this system but it may take quite a while before i have the money so i may make another thread in September if i have the money needeed cause the prices on gpu's will have dropped significantly

Don't count on significant drops. At most it'll be a few dollars. Don't know much about Greece's economy, but I doubt it'll drop as much as you might hope for.
