Get the Ti version which is much fastr than the NON Ti GTX650

@imomun, thank you for the answer! It will play well for BF3?

tell us budget and which is your current build

 

[Dyograd]

My budget is around 150$. I have gtx 650, 2gig ram, intel pentium g620 and gigabyte h61m ds2 as my motherboard.

Your golden my friend you will even be able to play upcoming battlefield 4

Edit: if you ever see any performance issue just lower the AA and off the HABO
Will give a significant boost. Dont forget these CPUs are 2cores but with HT 4 threads! http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G620-vs-Intel-Core-i3-3220

With the 650 and H61 no point installing i5 / i7 A ballance would be the proposed CPUs I5 is necessary if going GTX660 or HD7870 than i5 @ 720p

Happy Gaming

you mean you want to upgrade to i3 from pentium so i donot think it is worthwile.

i suggest raise your budget a bit and grab i5 3330 atleast around 165-180$.quad core is more imp than dual core in gaming

 

[Dyograd]

@imomun alright! Thanks!

 

[Dyograd]

@ASHISH65 yea i dont think its a good upgrade too. Ill see if i can wait for that long to save money. Thanks!

 

[ASHISH65]

yep you should get quad core.

always welcome!!

Agree with Ashish. Pentium to i3 is only a half upgrade.

If you are OK going used, you can find less popular i5's for under $150 on ebay. And since they couldn't be overclocked, you shouldn't get any fried ones. For example, I see i5-2310 going to for $120 all the time (that's what I have) . I play bf3 on 1080p ultra at over 60fps in 64 player online with that processor.

Edit: of course since I said that there are non on ebay today, but completed listing show that go for pretty cheap in auctions.

+ on the i5 3330, at least its a couple steps up the ladder from what you have currently, and not much more money than the i3s.

 

[Dyograd]

Majority of the people here say get i5. Hmmm ill think about it. Thank you all for the answers!!

i3's already considerably lag in BF3 on 60 player maps, think BF4 is gonna be any better ? Or any software titles in 2 years.. no

Is it because it was on ultra? I don't play on ultra because fps means more to me. With my rig right now, I'm okay with the fps. But my problem is frame drops and sometimes it freezes.

since u are getting a graphic card get a i5-3350p but it has no integrated graphics but is cheaper
