So it's quite a while when the xeons were launched, more than 10 years to be precise. I'm planning to buy a Gaming PC under a budget of almost 350$. Now, I'm getting two deals here, one with the Xeon X3440 (which is a 4 core 8 threads CPU) and the other deal is with the i7 3770 (which is also a 4 cores 8 threads CPU), and the price difference is pretty significant. Almost 50$. But I'm a bit confused about buying a xeon as they are pretty old as compared to 3rd generation processors. However they are performing pretty good in newer AAA titles like Apex Legends, PUBG, etc. So what should I buy? Xeons are still the best in terms of price to performance ratio.
I know this isn't future proof at all but the budget here is a bit tight, so I'm asking for a good suggestion. Is it worth to spend the extra 50$ on i7 3770? Or should I just go with the Xeon X3440?
Thankyou
