Intel core i5 3470 good for gaming/multi-tasking/speed

[ThomasMaltby]

I'm building a custom pc and was wondering if the intel i5 3470 is a good processer for most gaming and multi-tasking and having good speed while doing said things I have a ASRock B75M-R2 Motherboard and 6gb of ram

Sounds good to me. There's no point in getting a i5-3570K since you can't overclock on a B75-chipset motherboard to begin with.

I'd like to know why you have 6 GB of RAM, as that's an unusual number. You're really supposed to have 2 identical sticks of RAM in a board, not a 4GB + 2GB configuration...

Would it be bad to have a 2 and a 4. I don't really want to pay for 8 but want more than 4
