Looking for an Intel i5 and mobo (and possiby psu) combo

[Ryan Rose]

I'm getting a gtx 970 card pretty soon to play Far Cry 4 but in order for it to not be bottlenecked I need a new CPU, preferably Intel as AMD isn't as good for Far Cry 4 and other games and in general I hear intel is just more efficient. But with a switch to intel processor comes a need for a new mobo because I believe the docket type is different. And I also need a new psu which I can get separate but it would be nice if there's a bundle with that included. So anyway, can someone direct me to somewhere where theres good combo deals for an i5 that won't bottleneck a gtx 970 and a mobo to go with it? Thanks.

Hello,

If you have a decent AMD system (FX-6300 and up), there's no need to change it. Of course, an i5 wil give you some extra frames and less power consumption, but that's it.

Thanks. Would a amd fx 8320e be good? And will it fit on an AM3+ mobo?

If you have a decent motherboard, it will be OK (the FX-8320e has 95W TDP, so I would go for it instead of the FX-6300, it will be very close to an i5).
