i3 vs i5

[DrakulaKing]

Im building a system with a gtx 950 and 8gb of ram

but what should i pick, an i3 or an i5, i mostly will use this sistem to play games like lol, path of exile, diablo while maybe having chrome open to listen to some music or even having a stream open in the background.

Is the i3 enought to do this or should i go with the i5?

I think an i3 would be fine.

An i3 is fine but an i5 would be much much better

If you have the cash to spare, go for the i5, but an i3 would be okay for your needs.

An i3 would be fine, but if you can afford an i5 like the i5-4440 then I would recommend something like that instead.

If you have a strict budget, go for the i3. But an i5 would be MUCH better... Maybe get a used i5?

i5 4440

or you can find used i5s for the price of a new i3

If you can afford an i5 buy it. However an i3 4370 is around 30% slower overall so its a good choice as well.
