Really? From the looks of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSM8b0cYY2I the i5 bottlenecks without a powerful card.

No it's called the GPU is running at 100% on both the i3 and i5 the 960 is the bottleneck in that video not the CPU's at all. If you go with more powerful graphics in the future the i3 will not run them at 100% and then you will see the difference and waste your money. You will also see a difference in CPU intensive games and multiplayer games.

Thats what I meant by the i5 bottleneck, the fact that the gpu was bottlenecking the i5 was what I was getting at. But your right about a better gpu, atm though more games seems like a more justifiable option.

Please reword this into a form I can understand.

Rather than spending more money I would rather have more games.

Have fun getting frame drops in multiplayer servers with horrendous minimum framerates.

And let me guess, 'AMD CREATE TERRIBLE CPU'S AND NEVER CAN COMPETE WITH INTEL' mindset.

No actually there 6350 is good for streaming on a budget, and there 860K is a amazing little CPU for a budget gaming rig and I would take it over the similarly priced Pentium G2358 anyday. Also I'm wanting Zen bring some good competition against the mainstream Intel CPU's. So no AMD makes some good CPU's just not that many as they don't have as much money for RnD compared to Intel, this all gives Intel a step up on them, but I'm always for competition between the two, that's what drives them to make better products in the first place.

Sorry I thought you were an Intel/nvidia fanboy, forgive my rudeness. In your opinion then what performance would an i3 vs i5 get on a 770/780 as they are reasonably cheap on eBay.

I would not know personally as I stick to AMD GPU's for there price to performance, so I'm not the best judge when it comes to nvidia GPU's especially the older series.

Make a post in graphics cards asking if the i3 will bottle neck a 780 you should get a more informed reply there.

If I find a good deal I will thanks.
