i5 and ugrade in future or pentium g3258 and gtx 960

[Bobmahjingle]

title asks it and the i5 only option would be cheaper

i5 because dual core processors like the g3258 bottleneck nowadays.

What games will you be playing? Because the i5's integrated graphics can handle older games like skyrim just fine

 

[holyrage]

i would go with the I5

BTW broadwell will be out on June if u can wait for two months and nvidia might make a slight price cut on the 970 and 980 if AMD does well which i hope they do coz i want a GTX985 to be released lol

So g3258 + gtx 960 vs i5-4600 and integrated hd4600

CSGO - would play fine on both options
Space engineers & ps2 - may struggle with the g3258 in larger maps and areas

All three are playable on intel's hd4600 graphics at 720p, although you will be on low/medium for ps2 and SE

I would go for the i5 if I were you, and wait for amd's new hbm GPUs which are due out soon
