Hello everyone. I have a Pentium g2020 pair up with a gtx 650 ti. I want to upgrade my cpu first so what should i get? i3 or i5. I will be playing Bf3, LOL, Farcry, and all sorts so stuff. And also i will buy a r9 270x or something similar.
get an i5 the i3 is not much of an upgrade over the pentium. I would try and get a i5 3570k if you can
What all are you going to do besides gaming? If that is the main task save yourself some money and get an i3. Just try and get a good clock speed. If any tasks like photo editing or even more intense go for a i5.
i3 will bottle neck in some of the games he wants to play when he upgrades his GPU
I will mostly be playing games and listen to music while i play, so i think i will get the i5. also i wanna notice the experience of using my desktop loading games and stuff.
i5 would be best. Considering next-gen is able to utilise much more of our PC hardware.
