Hey guys, I've been recently debating whether an i3 4160 is good enough for gaming, or whether an i5 really is compulsory, even though investing even in the cheapest i5 4460 would go much beyond my budget. My current rig I'm planning to buy would be:
Intel i3 4160
8GB Ram (Corsair Vengeance)
Gigabyte GTX 950 OC
Corsair VS550 550W PSU
Would this be enough to run most games at 40-60 FPS? How much of a difference would replacing the i3 with an i5 4460 make?
Also, I was looking into an fx-6300 - I'm under the assumption an i3 would be better than that, as I am not planning to OC (can't afford OC mobo + coolers).
And just to ease my niggles, an i3 would perform identically to an i5 in terms of simple day to day use (web browsing, running minecraft, simple game development), right?
Any help would be appreciated.
