Hello everyone. I want to build a gaming PC. Unfortunately I live in México, and there aren't many different parts to choose from. I tried to buy some headphones in Amazon.com as a test for their shipping service, but they won't recognize my credit card as a payment method, when I'm able to use it in steam. Not sure what happened there.
Anyway, looks like I'll have to buy parts from mexican online stores.
I have decided to get a GTX 970, and I want an intel i5 processor. The only problem so far is that there appears to be a huge gap between prices of the i5's.
i5-4440: ~$188.95 USD
i5-4590: ~$231.67 USD
i5-4690: ~$259.65 USD
As you can see, it's a pretty big gap of $42.72 dlls if I want to get the i5-4590. Not sure it's worth it. I know DirectX12 is coming, and it will reduce CPU usage. But my main concern is if the i5-4440 will bottleneck a 970 in current games. Should I really spend $42 extra dlls to get the i5-4590?
I don't want to overclock, by the way.
P.S: tell me if you want to know about the parts I've selected so far, all of those have good reviews... I think.
