Intel Pentium G3220 for Currently Games.

[Danar Christanto]

does Intel Pentium G3220 is sufficient to play currently games ?

Such as :
- CoD Ghosts
- Battlefield 4
- Assassins Creed 4
- etc.

and what does settings it has ?

With a decent gfx card, it will play those games, yes. It's about as potent for gaming as the old Athlon II X3 460 triple cores.

I would pair it with HD 7770, does it work very well ???

 

[clutchc]

Should be fine. It won't bottle neck the HD 7770.
The dual core may still be a bit laggy when you are on a busy server with 64 players. But it won't be the card's fault.

That CPU won't be able to handle Assasins Creed 4 just so you are aware. The rest of the games you mentioned it should handle at minimum settings. The HD7770 won't be whats holding you back with your games it will be your CPU.

Thanks for reply...

Could you give me a recommendation for PC spec with budget around $450 - $500 ?
For CPU and GPU, I have a plan to pair FX-6300 with HD 7770, I think that's a great pair of CPU, GPU and the budget obviously.

 

[clutchc]

You will have to change your MB to use an AMD processor. What board do you have now?

 

[Danar Christanto]

I don't have any MB, I am planning to build a gaming PC with budget around $450-$500. that's why I asked about G3220 is good for currently games or not.

GPU: MSI R7 250 1GD5 $90

Total: Right around $600 without rebates

Reason I go with the 650w power supply? If you decide to upgrade in the future to say an R9 series card, you will want it.
Reason I go with the R7 250? Equal if not better performance than the HD7770 plus Mantle support all at a lower cost.

Oh, my bad. You didn't say that at the beginning. I thought you already had a rig.

for everyone who read this answers, and want to buy this cpu for gaming and have limited budget (so i3 is not an option) u can't go wrong, some1 said u won't be able to run AC4 ahahhahah, other games on low more ahhahhaha and all that cause of cpu ofc, well he lied, if u throw something like gtx 660/750ti, or r9 270x in your pc that cpu will run every game on high/ultra settings, there are so many reviews of entium g3258 stock and oced, cause it's overclockable so they review it the most from pentium g series and u can see that proc is holding every gave on max settings but they use stronger gpu's, and 3220 and 3258 on stock are almost the same procs, so if 3528 can play any game on ultra with strong gpu, 3220 can also to that. u can always sell it and buy i3/i5 in the future if u want but for now it's more than capable of playing every game out there if u have good GPU.. i know post is almost a year old, but lot of guys are searching for pentium g3220 so that's why i replyed, and also cause i saw some1 said it's not capable of playing newer games

I know im replying a bit late haha but I just ordered my parts to build my first budget gaming pc and I'm using the G3220 with a R7 260X for my GPU and 4GB RAM, I was wondering how it would perform on games like H1Z1, CSGO, etc.

 

[clutchc]

It will depend on what resolution your monitor is and what in-game settings you are willing to live with.
H1Z1: According to this, It appears the game requires 4 threads. If so, it won't work with the dual thread Pentium: http://systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/h1z1/12449/
CSGO: Being a Source game, you should be able to run it nicely: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/counter-strike-global-offensive/11422/
