Slightly. But you will still be able to play properly. I would just go with an i5 and a 7790.

Case: 650D CPU: i5 4670K GPU: GTX 770 Gaming @1306MHz Motherboard: MAXIMUS VI Hero PSU: AX760 CPU Cooler: H100i RAM: 8GB Vengeance Pro @1866MHz Storage: 840 250GB SSD / 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.14

In some games yes, you're better off with an AMD CPU(FX 6300 or 965 Black Edition) in the same price range.

Your i3 will bottleneck the card a little, however upgrading to an i5 could combat that.

If he already has the board he will be unable to do that, which sucks.

Tech I don't believe the benchmarks from the first link (didn't look through other ones as they looked to be reviews or something) are correct. I even went and double check and I'm looking at benchmarks on techspot which is a more trusted website and they are using pretty much the same CPU and they reported getting 85fps on average with the 690.

Ok I'll check it out, chances are TechSpot is not running AA while GameGPU is , that would make a significant difference.

Also please make note that GameGPU is running the 1.02 version of the game, Techspot only tested the release version.

UPDATE: I checked it out, TechSpot did not test a 690 on Far Cry 3, what benchmarks are you looking at ?

Note: I personally don't like techspot, they've done some funny business on Bioshock Infinite to skew the results.

Yea and the benchmarking procedures can be extremely different which could cause that big of a fps gap but I just feel GameGPU are being a tad biased in their benchmarking towards AMD cpu. I'm not a Intel fanboy by any means, the OP's best choice is definitely a fx6300 by far but I just have a really difficult time believe that a 8350 out performs a 3930k and a 6300 out performs a 2600k lol

I personally don't think that they're being biased, a good example is Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, graph where they clearly show the intel CPUs outperforming their AMD counbterparts.

Blood Dragon was developed by a different studio than Far Cry 3, this studio perhaps does not have experience optimizing for AMD CPUs.

I'm not saying that the whole company is AMD biased lol just that one test doesn't seem right. I have never ever seen a benchmark show a 8350 outperform a 3930k and a 6300 outperform a 2600k; In gaming or otherwise.

I've seen this one he didn't test the 690 though so that threw me off when you said 690. Also the tested game build was 1.01 so that might have something to do with it, I know for a fact that the 1.02 patch added game optimizations for AMD systems.

I'm not arguing that an FX 6300 is faster or better than a 2600K, it might however be faster in this particular circumstance for whatever reason.

Remember that a similar situation popped up with Crysis 3, different review sites showed very different results, when the benchmark runs were done in vegetation heavy levels the AMD CPUs came on top and when the benchmark runs were done indoor the intel CPUs came on top, there are too many variables to think about here.

I'm just speculating but possibly parts of the game are more heavily threaded than other parts similar to what we've seen with Crysis 3?

Well in any case both review sites show the FX 6300 outperforming the i3 in both Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 which is why I recommend it.

god no, the performance difference will be massive, its good in the longer run but thats a massive difference, an fx 6xxx would be a better route.
