Hey everyone.So I want to upgrade my i3-3220 to same generation i5...Maybe some of you would say that it's not worth but yea.. I'm not crazy gamer and I don't have extra money now for better upgrades so I'm searching for used i5 3rd gerenartion cause the i3 is laready quite slow for some newer games.My question would be: I found 2 options for used cpu and also I searching for i5-3470 but can't find it in my local area.But I already have two choices and I want some help to choose which is better.

  • 1. i5-3350p for 50€
  • 2. i5-3470s for 55€


So I googled for some info and I found that 3470s has higher turbo boost but lower base clock, so now I'm not sure which should I choose?
P.S. Like I already said I'm looking for i5-3470 so if I find it I will definitely buy it but now I just want to get some info about these two CPU's which I mentioned above.Mainly I want to hear any opinions about i5-3470s version, it's nothing wrong to game with this CPU ?

Upgrading to an i7 3770 would be a better option.

I'd save up some more money for a 3770.
