Hi there after a long time,
I don't do much gaming but I am trying to upgrade my PC to
GTX 750 Ti
8GB ram
and X CPU
where X is the cpu I have to decide.i
and I think it will be a good budget gaming pc to play games like GTAV,IV , the crew,call of duty series and Watch dogs if possible.
I know that you all will prefer i5 because of 50% more power only
Well in my opinion Core 2 quad is a better option. why? Here are the reasons:-
In out country India Core 2 quad is available for just about 3000 rupees (approx 46 dollars) where core i5 is for 7000 rupees (approx 108 dollars) about 2.5 times more in price where as the performance is only 50% more than the core 2 quad.
Secondly, i5 and C2Q are very different and fit in very different sockets, so if i'll go for i5 i'll need to change my motherboard as well to an expensive h61 case.
Thirdly,I love core 2 quad series because they were one of the most powerful processor back in 2008 lovely days and it will be good thing to feel proud on and to make others jealous.
Both are not future proof but spending half on an old legend q9500 is better than wasting twice on a non future proof i5 that can't even give at least 100% more performance.
what are your views please let me know.
So please tell me which is better option please please
