i3 4150 vs i5 4430? Gaming and Recording, no editing...

[Vindaloovians]

I'm starting a YouTube channel with a friend doing gaming videos, I won't need to edit as he does this. The i3 4150 is £50 cheaper than the i5 4430 so in just gaming it's an obvious winner but when recording I'm not sure? I have a comparison here (The i3 4150 is a renamed i3 4330) please don't suggest AMD FX processors, I'm using mini ITX and an Athlon won't cut it.

I'd get the i3 as its a very good cpu and also cheaper. Both the cpu's wont affect gaming performance massively as the GPU will be the main body of your gaming experience, go with the i3 and save yourself some money

That is not always true. It varies from game to game. Some prefer a stronger CPU, some prefer GPU power.

You will want the i5 at minimum for gaming and recording. Newer titles you would be better off with a 1230v3 though.

I5 it has 4 physical cores

Most games use 2 cores, at some it can get to 4 and almost never higher. While you can run any game decently with i3 it will make both cores fully loaded. Recording itself is a very demanding task so you should have some space left for it. Thats where i5 comes in handy since you have some power left for any given task.

Hope I'm not too late since the thread is quite necro'd

Naah man, after almost a year of posting on this site asking for comparisons and build reviews I'm finally building in just over a week

How's your build like?

Using a few parts I've been able to squeeze in an i5 build with an R9 280X, which I can upgrade to broadwell in the future for just over £500

Nice, very good build!

Sorry for the late reply anyways, had a vacation for 10 days. Just came back.
