Hey there,

I am about to upgrade my desktop pc. All I need is a descent budget cpu-mb-gpu. I do have 8gb ram(HyperX 1600mhz), hdd, DVD, power supply and case.

4 years have passed since I upgraded my cumputer for the last time and much have changed on the market.

I intend to play SC2/D3/WoW mostly on a FullHD monitor and I would like to play it on the highest possible settings.
After doing some researches I have stoped myself on these 2 combos:

INTEL combo
MONTHERBOARD - GIGABYTE GA-H87-HD3
CPU - Intel® Core™ i3-4330 Processor
AMD combo
MOTHERBOARD - GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P
CPU - AMD FX-6300

The Price difference is unnoticeable.

Also I will be using probably the AMD R7 265 video card, but I am also attracted by the TDP of GeForce 750TI. Still can't decide which one to pick but my favours are for AMD here.

Also I have one more question. Since the AMD combo dosn't support PCI Express 3.0 will it bottleneck the performance of R7 265?

All the Best and Thanks!

 

Personally I would go with the 6300 but either will do for those games. Also this may sound a bit weird but I need some practise buddies for sc2 if it's not to weird for you give me your info so I can add you XD
