[Andrei Draghia]

Hello community!
I wanna buy a processor+motherboar+4 gb ddr3 ram

And i have this in my mind for some nice prices

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H97M-E35.html#hero-overview and intel g3220 Haswell http://ark.intel.com/products/77773/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G3220-3M-Cache-3_00-GHz

+ 4 gb DDR 3 ram

or asrock 870 extreme3 http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/870%20Extreme3/index.asp?cat=
amd phenom II x2 555 black edition 6mb http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103846
+cooler katana 2+ 4gb DDR3

I own a HD 7750 1gb ddr5 and Noname source 550w but i dont know how many are real.

What do you guys think?

Do not get the phenom, it's a very old cpu and the mobo that goes with it is old too. Go with the nwer intel config.

 

[Andrei Draghia]

is an i3 2100 better than that dual core new generation?or should i go for that dual core ?I mean is there any difference in gaming?

 

[NightAntilli]

Nowadays you need to go for at least a quad core, or a dual core with hyperthreading like an i3.

BTW... i3 2100 is old, get the i3 4130 which is newer and supports your motherboard.

I3 will be better in games like battlefield 4, but for older MMO's like War Thunder and Minecraft, the g3220 would be fine.

CPU doesn't render Games, GPU does. I3 wount cut it and will bottleneck.
4 cpu cores are still the best for gaming so go with AMD fx-6300 (6 cores)
please use PCpartpicker.com to build your PC

Also go with 8gb (2x4gb) of ram. If youre going to go with 4gb(2x2gb) then install Windows 32 bit.

Yeah there is a noticeable difference in gaming because i3 2100 has four logical cores and the dual core only has two .
I3 2100 is better but its socket is obsolete .
But with G3220 you could upgrade to i5 Haswell later .
So if you want to upgrade later pentium is the best for you.
And if you go for pentium buy the G3258 not the G3220 because if you overclock it [even on stock] it will run most new games except farcry 4 and AC unity and other badly optimized games.

Hope this helps.

 

[Andrei Draghia]

I dont have money for what you guy said above me,so the dual core g3258 is ok because i can upgrade later with a better processor no?This processor will run good with my hd7750 and my powerlink 550watts source?I will have problems?

Now i have a dual core e5200 2.50 ghz and 4gb ram ddr2 and the pc is kinda fine no problems atm.

 

[Saif Uv]

As far as i know the HD 7750 requires only 75W . It can even run on a 350W PSU. So you`re safe there.
And G3258 is great choice for you . It can overclock to 4 Ghz on stock cooling.
Yep you`d be able to upgrade to core i3/i5/i7 Haswell later.
Beefy games like AC unity Far Cry 4 and MMOs wont run but still you`ll be able to play most single player games .

Hope this helps

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116950&cm_re=g3220-_-19-116-950-_-Product this is the processor i will get since i cant get the G3258. and this is the mboard http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H97M-E35.html#hero-overview

For the G3220 i need ddr3 1333 mhz no?By the way i dont wanna play the new games i just play CS.Go,Dota 2 and Aion online will those game run better and there will be a difference from what i got now?

Now i own as i said a dual core e5200 2.50 ghz and a cheap mboard from asus and 4 gb ddr2.

 

[Saif Uv]

Why cant you buy the G3258 ? Are you in Pakistan??

 

[Andrei Draghia]

i buy those from someone not from retail that why xD

 

[Saif Uv]

Try to get the G3258 if not then go for G3220 . Later upgrade to core i5/i7 and be set .

I'd personally buy an 860K (or something similar like an i3) and stick with it. Especially with DX12 around the corner where strong CPUs will become pretty much irrelevant for gaming. Get anything that can handle a minimum of 4 threads, and you'll be fine for a long while. Forget the G3258.

Woah Man! Are you sure that Strong CPUs will become irrelevant?

 

[NightAntilli]

For gaming, yes. Here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8968/star-swarm-directx-12-amd-apu-performance

As long as one has a CPU that can handle 4 thread, they'd be fine. It's the most heavy DX11 games that will remain a problem for certain CPUs. And it's not that they are actually unplayable either.

4 threads? What about my q9550 ?

 

[NightAntilli]

Should do fine in DX12, although it's possible that it'll be missing some modern features.

 

[RCFProd]

DX12 looks like a dream. I wonder if the performance will actually work this well. He should still get either FX-6300 or the i3 4150 though.
