is it good?

[a.j]

pentium g3258 overclocked to 4.2 
asus z97 mb 
amd r9 380 (soon) currently i have gtx 960
8g ram 
is it good enough plz dont tell me to upgrade to i5 because i read a few articles and saw a few comparisons that my pentium is still better option than the i5

aahahaa, my initials are AJ

Yes, AJ Dekkers.....

 

Anyway... The pentium will bottleneck in games.. I really recommend upgrading to an i5 or even an i3.

[Aytex]

get a i5 if you already have a 960..

 

getting a r9 380 when you have a 960 is a waste of money for a small preforamce increace VS a pentium and a I5

Yeah, if you already have a 960 don't get a 380, get an i5 4460

if he can swap them out why not? His preference.

Um.. don't get a 380 if you have a 960 already, 960 performs about equal to 380.

And Pentium is not at ALL better than i5, i5 is miles better and the Pentium will bottleneck your 960.

Go for the i5 4460 or even i5 4440 or i3 4160..

because going to a i5 gives a larger preformance increase then a 380 and a 960

[Tsuki]

if you have the money to blow on a 380 when you already have a 960, then dont, and get an i5. more cores, and hyperthreading.  whatever articles and benchmarks you saw, are wrong. and i5 will be better than a g3258 in both single, and multithreaded workloads.  yes you can oc the pentium to like 4.8ghz on stock cooler, but you are still better off getting an i5, and overclocking that instead.

[Chugle]

The Pentium is not at all better than an i5. Any i5 is leaps and bounds better than that shitty dual core no hyperthreading having pile of horseshit CPU.

I imagine he'd probably be going to the shop he bought it from and replacing it?

[a.j]

and y is the i3 4160 is better than the g3258 ik that it has hyperthreading but y

I don't understand your comment?

[Manny Calavera]

pentium at 4.7Ghz is still slower than i3 so no.

 

get i5. you cant play GTA 5 with pentium

and y is the i3 4160 is better than the g3258 ik that it has hyperthreading but y

bekus it haz str0ng3r k0res and b3ttr cashe

ok final decision do u recommend me going for the i3 4160 becuase i still have no money for 380 and im trying to sell my phone to keep some cash with and i have a b85 motherboard but tmw im going to get the asus z97 should i cancel that and buy the i3 4160 instead

[JoeCoke]

I'd recommend something better than that Pentium. I'd get a i5, heck, I'd take a FX 8320 over that. (Please don't kill me for saying that.)

Well, if I were you I'd just continue saving. That i3 won't get you very far. The i5 4460 is a much better CPU for not much more, though I'd save for the i5 4690k.

 

My opinion though.
