Haswell vs Haswell Refresh

It depends on what you plan to be doing. Gaming? Photo editing? Some basic rendering?

What does this have to do with anything? :c

 

@TitaniumMicros

Get the cheaper.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

I will do 1080p video rendering along with playing league of legends and call of duty.

I'd seriously recommend an i5 for that at least

My Main Build: NZXT S340 - NZXT Kraken X31 - Crucial MX100 256GB - i5 4460 - Gigabyte Z97P D3 - Kingston HyperX Red 8GB - MSI Nvidia GTX 780 3GB - Corsair LL & HD RGB Fans, Corsair Lighting Node Pro.

Not worth it, go with the B85. All i3s perform on par, Haswell E just has lower temps.

What nonsense are you spouting? Haswell E is the i7 extreme lineup for starters, and secondly I am fairly sure that the 0.5Ghz gap between the best and worst desktop i3 is at least a little bit noticeable. Also any decent mobo manufacturer will have updated BIOS to allow for any LGA1150 chip in even a B85 or H81 mobo.

you mean haswell refresh. haswell E is 5820k, 5930k and 5960x

The 4160 is cheapest, get that http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i34160

Haswell vs Haswell refr. is only temps and OC on K chips. whatever i3 has higher clocks will be faster.

However, I would go with an Athlon 8x0(k) in this price range.

What do you mean what does this have to do anything? While these CPU's are similar, most processors function for completley different tasks. If you were doing CG Creation, advanced multi-color rendering, and serious video editing, would you rather choose an i3 4170 or a Xeon E5 2699? CPU's are built for different reasons. One of them is bound to perform different (I said different, not necessarily better) than the other. 

It's a question about i3's...

Yes, I understand. I was just confused that he thought that CPU choice didn't matter for different tasks.

U got it wrong. Happens to best of us.
