[SOLVED] Is the i5 3330 or G4560

[Fire_Master69]

I just wanted to ask if the i5 3330 or G4560 is the best processor for gaming maybe.I used an i5 2400 with 8gb ddr3 1600mhz but the motherboard,ram and processor is broken.I was hoping to fix it the money and maybe upgrade it for a better processor.The prices on this processor are:

G4560:$34 or Rm150
I5 3330:$33 or RM 149

My budget is $80-$113

That would be fine, use dual channel ram (2x2gb or 2x4gb, depends on how much you need). well for entry gaming it is enough. A H110 Motherboard is what you need then if you go for the G4560. Also, how much is i5-4690 and i7-4770 in your country? they're a better processor tho if it came cheap. used one is a good deal if the condition is good.

Plus with the 4xxx series you could eventually upgrade to the 4790k which is pretty strong compared to everything else in the line.

G4560 is Intel 7th gen CPU so you would need 6th or 7th gen motherboard 1151 socket. You probably want to get 7th gen motherboard with H270 or Z270 chipset. If you get 6th gen motherboard with H170 or Z170, you will need 6th gen CPU to update the bios for motherboard before it can work with 7th gen CPU G4560. DDR4 is required.

i5 3330 is 3rd gen running on 1155 socket motherboard so you still can reuse your old DDR3 memory.
