When I decided to start pc gaming I wanted my build to be quite cheap and be able to run games in ultra. My build follows:

Intel core i3 4130 3.4ghz
Nvidia GeForce gtx 760
8gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram
h81m motherboard

This build overall (not included above, case, hdd, disk drive and win 7 inc in price) came to £550 and I am very pleased with it.

I can run bf4 in ultra and arma 3 and these games are very demanding in cores. Many people said that I would not be able to run games in ultra with a smooth fps but I did which surprised me a lot because I though I might have to upgrade my cpu as soon as possible but running these games smooth and in ultra on the i3 4130 is going to save me a lot of money and I am hoping not to buy a new part for another of couple of months.

And this i3 4130 brought me to a conclusion that this cpu has a very powerful 2 cores.
