No, for gaming it is fine. It is better to by a new PC if you start to do anything that is CPU heavy and that i3 should work just fine for FPS until the rest of the system is outdated.

Again a i3 over a i5 is dumb, 2 cores is not enough enough anyways

I'm not even shure if i whuld recomend a better CPU even if it was Total War that was the main target. As long as the lode on the CPU isn't 100% it is ok if it don't cause micro lag.

JEEZ... there is a time to know when to recommend a i3 and when not too...

Now is the time not too...

The recent patch made it a bit easier on the cpu. Still wouldn't run an I5 myself.

Please don't use that video since it's utter crap. Who measures CPU performance at 4K when you're essentially going to be GPU bottlenecked? Oh that's right, LTT does.

 

The price for the i3 7350K is way too much considering it's still essentially is a dual-core. Any entry-level i5 will outclass it.

 

@GamesOfThrones, of course the i7 7700K is going to perform considerably better but the i5 7600K will still be a 'good' choice.
