So for my first build i am going to buy a pentium G3258 but i was wondering, what new hot games am i going to be able to play with it ?

By the way i love battlefield games

So long as your GPU is strong enough, your CPU doesn't make a HUGE difference (unless your game does not allow dual core CPU's HEM HEM CRYSIS), so long as it is not bottlenecking the GPU

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

I wouldn't. I'd save up a little longer and get a better CPU, perhaps save some money by getting a locked one and a cheaper motherboard?

Still, it got potential

Huh...

I'm facing a similar situation on a budget of £350. I will be rocking a second hand 280x with the pentium g3258 accompanied by 8 gigs of ram.

How do you think I would get on on a 1024p monitor?

You'll be fine even on high-ultra

That's only single player though, I fear those numbers will be lower on 64 player server. Still quite impressive though. I do understand that you cannot get a perfectly repeatable benchmark on such a dynamic setting as 64-Man BF4, but most people will be playing multiplayer.

True, I'll say you could expect -10 fps and high CPU loads?
