Cheap gaming pc

[ciprian-g]

hi! i want to build a pc for gaming but the budget is short, arounfd 550-600 $

I made some research and i found 2 cpus but i want to know witch should i pick.

the socket will be 1150. one is the i3 4170 3.7GHz and the other one of the pentium dual core g3460 or g3450

the i3 has some advantages with some new software staff but the price is considerably higher.

the graphic i think will be an gtx 750ti

withc showld i pick? thanks for the help

Go with the Pentium g3258 and maybe a used GPU off of ebay. Normally can get a 280x for like $150USD

I'd advise away from the g3258 as some games are starting to require more than two threads and the 1150 socket is going to be easier to upgrade later on.

This guy knows how to build on a budget 

[ciprian-g]

so i decided that the gtx 750 ti should do it, but i want to know what is the best option for the cpu, still not sure about it, if i go with i3 i kind of overpass my budget, and if i go with the pentium dual, i will not be abllein the future to get another gtx 750 ti for sli, what do you think is best. should i consider the sli option? or go for the cheapest option? and the ram, do i need 8 gb? or spend less for 4 gb? thanks

[jimakos234]

i think this should be good if you want to spend even less, but the build provided with the i5 is far superior
