New to gaming build

[Gilgamesh56]

So, i know that in all aspects Intel is so much better than Amd, but then again i am new to pc gaming. Im am also not willing to spent a fortune on an i7 at the moment but eventually i am going to want something of that power. Right now i am planning to go with the x4 860k and an rx 470 4gb, hoping that the althalon wont bottleneck the gpu. Should i stick with the athalon for some light to moderate gaming and skip and i5 in the future and jump straight into an i7 later, or should i spend the extra money and get the i5 now instead of the 860k now?

For gaming an i5 is all you need. I would buy it now and never concern myself with the i7.

If budget is a concern an i3-6100 is also a good chip for gaming and would pair well with a RX 470.

Ok thanks a lot!

The 860k will bottleneck an RX 470. An i3-6100 is the best budget option right now, especially if you want to upgrade to an i7 later. But right now isn't the best time to build because new chips are right around the corner.
