need help for building new gaming PC

[Hafiz Umais]

Hi all.
I am planning to build a new gaming PC and need help on it. I mostly play games at 1440x960 resolution and have decided for two possible combinations which can fit my budget.
1. i3 3rd gen+ msi gtx 960+ 8 gb ram or the other is
2. i5 2500(non-k)+ msi gtx 750ti+ 8 gb ram
please help for which can i go so that i can max out every game coming in future.
thanks in advance....

I'd go for the 2nd option, 2gb vram should be enough to go for you and an i5 is good

do u think i will be fine with that at mentioned resolution and can easily max out?

Neither of those can do what you want.

You would need the i5 + GTX 960 + 8GB ram to run games coming in the future at good graphics on that resolution.


However, i5 2500 + GTX 750Ti + 8Gb ram can run most games at 1920x1080p low-medium. Slightly higher on 1440x960.

If you have the option, go for an i5 with 8gb of RAM and a cheaper GPU. This will make your core system more "future proof", and you should only need to upgrade the GPU at a later date.

I wouldn't build a 2500 system now - although it's still decent speed, it's dated, and will be obsolete faster than the i5.
