i checked all 3 websites. make sure at newegg* u pick the sg location😛 this 1 was the best by far.
furthermore: the 5th hash well i3 is the same price as the 6th gen so theres no point for getting a 5th 1.

can u stream with this build: yes no problems man (as long as it is csgo or lol)

and turn down the settings if u want to stream
Justify why you're looking for intel?
For the budget, AMD is your best choice and it's easy to overclock as well as it's way more stable in terms of overclocking compared to intel.
 


according to my friend, he states that i should get i5 2500, however in my area the cpu itself costs around $150. btw can the i3 cpu support gaming and streaming?
 


i'm looking for these cpu and mobo to pair up with my gtx 770 and 8gb ram ddr3. so which would would be highly recommended according to my budget? i3 4170 or the amd fx 6300
 


i've had that fx6300 in mind too since i'm an amd user aswell. :) thanks
 
Superninja, with all the respect, compare the prices with i3 skylake cpus and the fx 6300.
He can get a good motherboard and a decent cpu for gaming.. So later on he can plan whichever upgrades he needs.
 


aw man the price is good but after i changed the currency to SGD it goes up to 270$
 


i could buy on newegg.com / sgpcmart.com / lazada.com.sg

thats the online store that i know of

nice man thanks! i will consider that, but one more thing. is biostar ta790gx which im using now a micro atx board? i would like to know cause it fits in my case now and hopefully i buy that board that u suggest it could fit in too.
 
how your mobo form factor is called I've got no clue. but keep it in mind it will eb helpful for the future maybe who knows.
anyways this mobo i gave u is smaller than your current mobo so it will fit for sure.
next to that this cpu is underrated for games if ur not streaming. you can play any game at 60 fps with your cpu and gpu as long as u keep the settings ''good''.

edit: man i just checked your gpu you will get a really good experience with this build.
 


thanks man appreciate your help. future upgrade for this build would be i5 2400 a good choice?
