Pentium G2030 or Q6600?

[Angelo_20]

I'm building my first computer and I'm stuck what CPU to buy... I don't have that money because for other components...

Which of this CPU should I consider paired with a gtx 550ti and run games like BF4, COD BO2 and Far Cry3.?

Low settings is alright for me and either 1080p or 720p resolution...

550 ti?

save yourself the effort, you wont run any of those games.

But I see some videos that can run this games especially BF4

I do wonder why those two particular CPUs. But if only a choice between them then the G2030 makes a bit more sense.

The G2030 fits an LGA1155 socket, and some of the more powerful processors for this socket should still be available should you be able to upgrade later.

The Q6600 was good in its day, but it's older now with little in the way of upgrading later aside from secondhand. (I'd be surprised if processors of that generation can be obtained new.)

Depending far along you are acquiring components, it may be a better idea to post a budget and let the resident builders here give their suggestions.

I agree... And in terms of budget its a bit complicated because I live in Asia and i search for best deals in an online 2nd hand shop...

I sort of assumed that may be the case about the parts. Always trickier in a sense.

I would assume you haven't bought a motherboard or RAM yet. Because if you're building a PC, those components with the CPU are the core. So make sure the CPU is compatible with the motherboard, and you get the correct RAM.

The one thing I would suggest is buy a new power supply (and a good quality one too). Wouldn't want to risk one with wear and tear.
