i5 or FX?

[jupopp]

Should I get the i5 4690k or the FX 8350 for my Strictly Gaming PC? Games I am trying to play:
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Minecraft
Skyrim
GTA V
CS-GO
Assassin's Creed (any of them)
Call of Duty(any of them)
Far Cry 4

If you have money i5
if you don't have much money FX.
That's all what I can say.

Hope it helps.

i5 all the way, it will run any of these games but GTA V might be little a problem since of course... it's badly optimized

OK and will this CPU go well with the GTX 970?

Śure.

4690k is a GREAT gaming CPU. Get it and you'll be set for a couple of years. You could even run sli 980tis with that CPU without any problems, so you're fine to go.

So, you have money. So go for INTEL I5 100%

Yes, I used to have a 970 with my i5-3570k, there is not any bottlenecks whatsoever. Most people will recommend at least an i5 for gaming.

If you do not plan to OC the CPU, save some money and get the i5 4690 (without the "K"). OC'ing won't gain much anyway.
