Hi,

I wanna change my G3258 for a better cpu because im cpu limited but when i change this cpu my mother will get it(so new board no choice both cpu choice) so if i upgrade to i5 it cost me 290(with taxs) and the FX with the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0(there's a board cheaper and good too?) cost me 309$

Which one sould i take? I play game frequently(GTA V,AssasinCreed:4/Unity,BF4, and some mmo like Star Trek Online and extract many WinRar files...

Thanks for help

For this case, maybe wait for AMD Carrizo or Intel Skylake? Because those games listed will want more cores.

What motherboard are you currently using? I would get an i5 4440, 4460, 4570, or 4590.

Z97-C but as i said my mom gonna need a board because i give her the pentium...
And for the case to wait for skylake/carrizo if its like for june ok but if its after not sure im gonna wait for this...

 

[CTurbo]

I would wait for Skylake. As it stands, I personally would not even consider any of the 3 cpus in your thread subject.

 

[Ds9Defiant1701]

But when is skylake?

 

[CTurbo]

a few weeks

This is not broadwell? i heard Skylake is for September...

 

[CTurbo]

There will only be 2 Broadwell models. Skylake is supposed to be released at the beginning of the 3rd quarter which is next month. I don't know the specific date, but I wouldn't doubt if Intel stalls until Sept though.

 

[Ds9Defiant1701]

Yeah anyway im gonna move and thinking(even if there's rebates) to wait until next month after i moved but i dosen't want to wait until september...
But if Skylake dosen't release in the next month which CPU should i get in these 3?

If you keep the z97-c for yourself, you can pair the g3258 with a b85 board (~$50) and get the I5. Better performance in games and most other applications, for extracting very large winrar files or rendering edited videos the fx 8350 will be a bit stronger though.

If you don't want to wait, get either an i5 4460 or i5 4590 and a H97 motherboard.

And keep the z97 board with a pentium? Erm...
