Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for answering.
I would like to know what kind of build you reccommend? I trying to build a pc that will last for a few years.
Also, does spending more money for the newest generation of cpu would be , for the lack of a better word, worth it?
 
$500 more isn't justifing the small amount of more performance you'll get with the 1st build I believe. The only downside is probably as with the DDR2 memories, all DDR3 hardware will not be available in the market in high quantities in 2 years or so... The only benefit from the first build is faster RAM and better support in the future, seriously...
 


No, not in your case. You'd have a small performance boost in games, probably 5-10% or something so not worth an extra $500

If you're building the PC yourself I'd even go down to an i5-4570k and 8GB RAM as again, you'd only lose a tiny bit of gaming performance but save $150.

EDIT: Something like this would give you the best bang for your buck in games. Much better performance than any of the builds above for less cash (hopefully)
