i5-750 or Q9550??????? hmm

[Zectorr]

ok there is a i5-750 processor that i seen for $75 AU dollars , and i saw a Q9550 for $85 AU dollars, should i get the i5 and a new Motherboard , because i seen people playing GTA 5 with it and its running great , i have a R7 260x or should i buy the Q9550 and stay with this mobo ?

Personally, I would skip both. Both are out dated processors. For performance, the i5 is a little faster but not by much. If you're willing to push your budget just a little higher, a 6300 FX or a newer i3 would be wiser choices.

i have been told that the Pentium G3258 is a great budget processor ? would it stutter on games like GTA 5 and BF4

Well, no but you have to look at it from the ability of your components. With a Pentium and a 260x, you're not going to be playing on high settings. I don't know your plans for down the road components but that's something you should consider.
