Best CPU for GTX750ti

[npwner]

I'm going to build a budget pc game and I already have a GTX 750ti 2GB oc edition.

My question is what CPU is the best for this card?

I want to upgrade it in the future so I was thinking something like the intel pentium G3258?

So i already need a s1150 so I wont have to change the mother board when I upgrade it..

Thanks

Pentium G3258 with Z97 and CPU Cooler is great for upgrading to an i5 / i7 later, if you want a more semi permanent solution then i3

[IMPERIUS]

I would take an i3 if you plan to upgrade when skylake comes out. Or even the pentium

[Sam Z Man]

If you just want something that works without having to upgrade later, a 860K is your best bet, motherboards are also cheap for it.

G3258 is absolute garbage even if you gona upgrade later on, get cheapest i3 you can find, you wont regret it.

[Johannes_Lazor]

G3258, Athlon 860k or FX 4300/50

lol at your incorrect facts

Get the G3258 and a H81 or B85 motherboard then upgrade to a locked i5 later is what I would do. What games are you planning on playing? If it's just league of legends and some older or inde games the G3258 will do everything you need for a year or two at least. If you're looking towards newer games you should probably get the G3258 and a Z97 board then upgrade your GPU at the same time you upgrade your CPU. G3258 should do everything that GPU can handle if it's overclocked. For overclocking I suggest a 212 plus or evo then get it to 4.2+.

False.

I want to play some 'older' games (2013) at a good fps (50-60) on med settings on a 1080p monitor.

If a game uses 4 threads your G3258 will be a complete shit even overclocked to 5GHz.

Stuttering, really bad lows, freezing, FC4 not even running...

Get an i3, the hyperthreading helps a lot

False.

Welcome to 2015, where CPU matters and games are trending to use more than 2 threads.

GTAV, Ryse, Watch Dogs, FC4 and many others salute you

False.

How so ? All the G3258 users who complain about stuttering, low fps and bottlenecking are false aswell ? Just cuz you own G3258 and regret buying it doesnt mean you have to trick others into that trash.

The G3258 with a decent overclock should run a 750 Ti pretty well, and you'll most likely be able to get a reasonable overclock (say 4.0 GHz to 4.2 GHz) on the stock cooler. Any desktop Haswell i3 will be unquestionably better for AAA games than even a 4.5 GHz G3258, but I don't think you'll see too much of a bottleneck with a 750 Ti and it's a decent stopgap until you can afford an i5/i7/Xeon if you're not running a $200+ GPU. I did the same, using a G3258 until I could afford my Xeon E3.

60 fps is going to be rough on games that recent I'm afraid. My 4.4 GHz G3258 could do it great with Bioshock Infinite, but couldn't with Tomb Raider or Skyrim. I really think Far Cry 3 would choke on that too, considering it uses all 8 threads of my Xeon at all times when I turn RTSS on to monitor usage. G3258 + 750 Ti is a better match for 30 fps gaming at 1080p. Setting the half refresh rate adaptive vsync in the Nvidia control panel is the best way to get smooth gameplay with the Pentium.

Ok, yah, I see the OP wants to run those games on his 750Ti! /s

Nope, I love mine. I could buy an i5 any day I want but I have no need for any more.

FC3 worked good on mine at 4.4 and my 750Ti. It might not work for all games from that time even but it definitely works for some if not most.

False.

Is the Asus H81I-PLUS a good mobo with the G3258 and GTX750ti?

[Nena Trinity]

Pentium G or i3!

Wait your not recommending the FX series.

What did you do to the real @Nena360.

He does have a mobo for 1150 so why should he swap?
