i3 3220 with gpu vs i7 4770k

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

Guys i already decided on getting the i3 3220 with gtx 650 ti. Will it run present games? Will it be worth it? Im new to this so i need your opinions and suggestions. I also thought on changing it first into an i7 4770k or i5 3750k with a MOBO that supports crossfire but without gpu for future proof. Then after some time im gonna get a decent gpu for that. What do you think? an i3 3220 with gtx 650 ddr5 or a i7 4770k or i5 3750k without a gpu? im also on tight budget so i cant go with i7 or i5 with a gpu. Please help me guys.

i7 4770 needs a 1150 mb. i5 and i3 are on 1155. careful

i5 and i7 without the gpu are better cpus but wont play games.

The i3 with 650 ti is a better option to upgrade to a i5 3570 later. The Integrated gpu isnt very good.

Can you give me a $100 mobo that will support i7 4770k or i5 3750k and also supports crossfire. Cause if I get the i5 or i7 i, i will be getting a decent gpu after sometime like 7870 or gtx 660.

RobCrezz, will the i3 3220 with gtx 650 ti can play modern games like crysis 3 or black ops 2?

Yeah will play them, just not at high settings.

What if an 4th gen i3 with gtx 650 ti? I saw that the i3 4130 is better than i3 3220 but same price. Also, will it be okay if i get first a i7 4770k or i5 4th gen for future gaming then get a decent gpu like 7870 sometime?

 

[laviniuc]

for gaming you can't get a lot better then i5 4670k and at that point diminishing returns kick in. for gpu-s they dont hit till around 300usd. check the best gpu and cpu for the money reviews on the site

 

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

Cause you know im tight on budget. My choices are i3 3220 with GTX 650 Ti or an i5 3750k, i7 4770k. I dont know what to do. I came from console gaming. Now i want to start building a monster pc starting with just normal budget. If im gonna choose i5 or i7, i can get a decent gpu sometime. Or right now i should get the i3 3220 with gtx 650 ti or hd 7850?

 

[laviniuc]

the plain i5/i7 without a gpu will not game. the onboard gpu-s intel provides are a joke. they are intended for business pc-s that have no intentions of gaming. so for gaming an i3 + one of those gpu-s will work better. the problem with the i3+gpu is that if you want more you need to change both later on.

 

[Darksin]

Imo i would go for a I5/I7 and save up for a GPU later, you are gonna replace that I3 anyways for gaming the current games, just my opinion though!

 

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

Yes that what im thinking. Cause if i get first the 4th gen i5 or i3, later i can get a good gpu then my pc will be a beast.

Exactly, It is what i did, just the otherway around! i got a gtx 760 a few months ago, now getting a I7+Mobo gonna run every game out there

Have fun with your rig!

If i get the i5 3750k or i5 4th gen i can save money cause i heard that using i7 4770k for gaming is equal to i5 3750k. So i can save money. Also, what is the best MOBO for the i5 3750k or i5 4th gen that has sli. Thankyou so much.

Thats is pretty correct for most games, But in the future if games will support HT more you'll get more out of the I7. But thats just my personal take on it. The latest I5 will have no problem what so ever with current games and the next few years i assume!

About the Motherboard, i would get something like the ASRock Z87M Pro4, Motherboards are not my strong suit though!

 

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

Much much is that mobo?

[Darksin]

Its around 90 euro's but you can OC with it for the future, and it has 2x PCIe x16 for SLI/Crossfire

 

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

What gpu will you suggest that i can get next time that will run everything with i7 4770k or i5 3750k?

 

[Jan Keiffer Fernandez]

Darksin, what is you facebook account? So I can ask you about these things.

 

[Darksin]

Well, i'm using a GTX 760. i like it, gonna use it with shadowplay to record, but if you got a decent GPU atm you can also save up for maybe even a 770 or 780! And you can message me if you like to ask anything! Don't know how i feel about dropping my facebook here haha

Btw you can also use something like a RX 290X i believe, heard some good things about it.
