Credit value master @zappian for this. You should have some money left for Win 8.1 , and the basic CPU fan comes with the CPU.

No MIR's, 1080p ready.  Get your OS from G2A, they're super cheap there, and the i3 comes with a stock cooler.

 

I didnt put the Anniversary Pentium, because the HT on an i3 will count as 4 cores in software, getting rid of those requirements in games like FC4.

Also, Tomic, if you follow your post with that upper right button, you will get notifications  :)

If you watched Linus' how many cores for gaming video, you'll know that far cry 4 wouldn't open with a duel core with hyper threading.

I watched it like a week ago, if my memory serves, the G258 didnt open, not the i3. Plus, users have reported success on that video thread with i3's.

Didn't they use the 5960x and just disable the threads and or cores? I might be thinking of a different game however.

how in what way

In almost every direct product comparison that matters for performance.

4150 > 6300

The 970a-G43 is kind of a shoddy motherboard--not really for the other boards.

270x > 270 > 260x
