Hi forum. I have a question. Which would be the best CPU for me? My budget is preety low - 200euros (spent all my cash on a GTX770)
The CPU's I have my eyes on :
FX-6300 (Plan to overclock to get max performance)
i5-4670k
i5-4440
Which should I choose? And with what motherboard?
p.s my budget will increase soon.
Thanks again
I have the i5 3670k, it's overclocked to 4.2GHz. I haven't had any trouble out of it. ASUS is always a good brand to go to for Motherboards, which one you get depends on what you are going to use it for.
I have a i5-4670k @4.2ghz... you could buy the processor and wait until you get more budget and buy a decent heatsink to overclock. (I have 212 EVO and was lazy and just used Asus OC software)
I think that the fx-6300 will be the first to bottleneck that Cpu so I personally wouldn't go for that but it's up to you and i'm sure amd fans will tell you otherwise.
but how well it will perform compared to others? Its 2 times expensive than the FX-6300.
All of the processors listed are sufficient for the GTX 770. The FX6300 and the i5 4440 are going to be appropriate for your budget.
The i5 4670k is good, but you should spend additional funds on a premium motherboard (Z87 chipset) to ensure that you get the entire benefit from the 4670k's overclocking capability.
I'll be honest, I don't know much about AMD CPUs. I have always bought Intel. I can't tell you the difference between the two, just that the 4670k has been great fro me. Sorry.
If you can, try to get an 8320, it's a great overall CPU it's just a hair slower then the Haswell parts.
