Like I said. "If at all". As in I may go air cooling... maybe a Dark Rock Pro 3.

Still does not justify the expensive case. Ditch that, get a NZXT 210 and buy an i5

Make sure to buy a 30Hz monitor for your setup.

 

Because then you won't see the stutter that will inevitably happen on 60Hz monitors.

I have an A10-7850K and a HP w2207 (1680x1050 60Hz) and I've never experienced stuttering. Unless it was my framerate being utter B.S.

Do you even know how much a i3 stutters? Sure it gets higher FPS's, but HOLY SHIT THE STUTTER, it is 100% not worth it, a i3 is crap deal with it.

yeah well. cool brah.

i went from a A10 7850k to a i3 6100. The i3 has 8-10 FPS more, but stutters like fucking hell. Its unplayable.

 

But hey, you can fanboy all over intel. Believe the benchmarks (like i did), and go buy an i3. Shout about the amazing gaming experience whilst trying your damnest to ingore the stutter.

 

just keep lying to yourself. For eventually, you will believe your own lie.

This system wouldn't be built for months. I may have a job way before I could build this system, so I may even skip the i3 and i5 and go get a 6700K.

a i7 + RX 480 is not a very balanced system

Go with an i3. U got an upgradepath on intel. FX is dead end.

Country? If you're in the UK, buy a used i5 from CEX with their 2 year warranty.

Agreed I brought some ram from cex and it didn't work, ( was 2 pound and I wanted to oc it to the max)

so I took it back and demanded a replacement instead of a refund and they order it from overclockers uk and Sent it out to me !

Based on all the comments about stuttering with the i3, is the 880K a better choice for a budget gaming pc?

A good A88X board, 8gb of 2133 DDR3 and a 880K with the AMD silent cooler can be had for way less than an I3, DDR4 and Z170 board.

Would the 880K stutter? 

 

Cheers!

i7+1070 is a very nice balanced system, from what I can tell the 1060 is not powerful enough to be in the i7 league

i7 and 970/RX480 is fine, if you play things like BeamNG, Kerbal Space Program, Cities: Skylines and other more CPU bound games. (Basically, most of the games I play).
