Just looking for some advice about what cpu to go for. The computer will be used mainly for bf3 and black ops 2. So far its
Windows 7 prof 64 bit
Gigabyte ga-b75m-d3v intel b75 socket 115
Corsair vengance 8gb ddr3 pc3 12800(1600) dual channel
Not decided on graphics or cpu yet

Spend a maximum of 150 on cpu any advice or links would be great thanks

i5 2500k or i5 3570k easily for battlefield.

Would that motherboard be ok for those?

 

[darth pravus]

Yeah it's the socket type

Max budget of $150?

if you can't stretch to the i5 (Which I highly recommend as it's the absolute best gaming CPU then an i3 is still good.

I do think you should save up a bit though.

Ideally you want a k version so you can overclock

You might be able to find it even cheaper somwhere else
