Intel g3258 or amd x4 750k

[Karlo Mehmetovic]

Hi guys,
So i got radeon hd 7850 and the rest of computer is:
ECS H61H2-MV
HDD 1tb WD blue
4gb ram g.skill 1x4
pentium g2010
cx600 corsair

I wanted to replace old cpu with new like g3258 or amd x4 750k so i have 2 options
Get used mbo Asus B85M-G and g3258 with 2 years warranty for 88$ or
Get used mbo ASROCK FM2 Extreme6+ and AMD x4 750K with 15 months warranty for 88$
Which do i need to take?
And how money can i get with my old mbo and cpu?
GAMES will be like GTA V,Far cry 4,withcer 3
Thanks in advance

can't believe I am gonna say this, but with the games you listed athlon will be better option, pentium would perform great in most of them and be a lot faster in general, but it need's a big oc since it lacks two cores or any form of hyperthreading, so the extra cores of the athlon will be useful(though they are far slower then pentiums cores) with a bit of oc it will run great with your gpu

i say get the x4 750. the g3258 tends to have alot of shutter snice that fact that its a dual core. and some newgames won't start without a quad core or modding it

Hi
Is this better so when i got money i can upgrade it on fx6300
ECS A960M-M2 + and AMD FX-4100 for 88$

yes i would get that if your on a really tight budget

no don't go for any fx 41xx/61xx/81xx parts and if you chose to go with fx platform forget about those cheap ass boards, they have chipsets older than phenom x6 chips and where never meant for such power hungry designs as fx, the chipsets are ancient, lowest you should go with fx chip is 970 boards, anything below that is complete rubbish meant for people who will never ever be using it for gaming or overclocking

I totally agree; building an AMD FX based system requires a quality motherboard to avoid throttling caused by an inadequate CPU VRM. Unfortunately cheaper 970 motherboards often don't provide a good quality CPU VRM.

Agree, but atleast they are a lot better than the 960 and 780 chipset crap

The OP should read reviews like http://techreport.com/review/26735/overclocking-intel-pentium-g3258-anniversary-edition-processor/3 where it shows that a stock G3258 is slower than an x4 750k, but it's faster when overclocked. The main benefit of the G3258 is that it can easily be replaced by an i5 or an i7 when more performance is required.

Pour lots of salt on g3258 reviews, I've seen fc4 give better fps than amd but have a horrible stutter, dc days are gone. On topic I'd get a used i5, your current mobo supports i5 2400 and i5 3470 cpus, both can be had used for buttons and both completely destroy the pentium and athlon in games. I would actually suggest a xeon v1 or 2 but theyre not listed in your mobos' support list so hit and miss if they work.

Guys will be this gpu ok with my rest of build?
gtx 760 msi twin frozr oc 2gb
When i will got like 100$ im gonna buy used I5
Is this ok?
I heard about Bottleneck but i think that i can wait 2 months to buy i5
Sry about english

The suggested processors certainly are a very good option. As I wrote, the main benefit of the G3258 is that it can be replaced by an i5 or an i7, but as you pointed out, so can the G2010.

better get i5 2500k or i7

 

[velo3100]

An i5 should be enough for the games you play. Only get the i7 is you plan on playing the game at the highest settings.

But is this gtx 760 ok for my build?
I wont upgrede it for next 2 months thats why i am asking

It doesn't make sense as a 2 months solution because you can't upgrade to a much faster AMD CPU without replacing the motherboard again. If it's only for 2 months, then consider a used i5 CPU for your current motherboard. If you plan on upgrading the motherboard and CPU now to again upgrade to a faster CPU in 2 months, then the G3258 probably is a better solution.

Edit: Ignore my reply as I didn't realize that you switched from a CPU/motherboard question to a GPU question in the same thread.

Its a good card and better than your 7850, your psu is fine, I see no reason it wouldn't slot straight into your current build, if anything nvidia has less driver cpu overhead so your fps should get a boost along with the better settings/visuals in game. Uninstall amd drivers, slot in the 760 and install nvidia drivers then enjoy.
