Skyrim Killer V4

[Jehan-1387463]

Hey folks im back and thanks for the previous tips and builds ^^ the build i ordered and build 3 months ago was awesome but i sold my 4670k cause there wasn't much watts room for an good gpu

Corsair Vengeance 8 GB DDR3 - 1600 MHz PC3-12800 - CL9 - 1.5 V

XFX Core Edition PRO550W ATX12V

Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo

Zalman Z11 Plus ATX12V

Gigabyte Z87P-D3

Now i was thinking to get an i3 core 3.6 ghz cause all my favo games are dual core based only exception might be Skyrim, TES5 is dual core also but its cpu demanding so 2 extra cores or hypertreading might be usefull.

So lets check these cpu's, keep in mind please that i keep this system till its beyond repair and or upgrades and total wattage use is important i simply wont pay for an 200w+ system its not worth the costs.

First is the cheap but solid i3 4340 for older games its perfect it has 3.6 ghz and only 54w so i could get an 7850 or 7870 with this cpu ?

Second is the i5 4570t its twice the price but is hypertreated and 35w i would get an 7870 or 7950 with this cpu.

Third i love the i7 core 4770s it has 3.9 ghz and 65w its 3 times the price of an i3 core but for me it would be worth over the years and this would have room for 100w gpu for sure but would i need it for gaming?

So far i prefer the i3 core 4340 + 7850 its cheap and good enough for now.

Second the i5 4570t + 7870 expensive but better for future gaming.

Last but not least and best for future gaming the 4770s + 7850 or 7870 i think its worth every penny and maybe im good to go for a few years..

Update: i checked and it doesn't matter much if the i5 and i7 cores are s or t both have upside an downsides.

this is pretty low wattage and efficient.
