I'd rather buy a FX-6300 and overclock it. That'll kill all i3s.

James Convento · Apr 8, 2013

Any resolution will do, and have high setting or ultra!

The price is really high in here in the philippines. . .

ASHISH65 · Apr 8, 2013

for crysis 3 fx 6300 is faster than i3

James Convento :

Gotcha. k, all Ivy Bridge i3 CPUs will perform the same in gaming. Get what's cheaper and put money into a good GPU.

Go Pacquiao!

ARICH5 :

When you gonna finally replace that 9600gt and play with us big boys?

ASHISH65 · Apr 8, 2013

if fx 6300 not choice then i3 is way to go

ARICH5 · Apr 8, 2013

@james. are you building a new comp? because after 105 posts id say your days of research and recommendation hunting are over.

James Convento · Apr 8, 2013

envy14tpe :

Now that's a straight response.

BTW, how did pacquiao get to topic? Hahaha. XD

James Convento · Apr 8, 2013

ARICH5 :

Hahahaha! I was thinking someone will say that!
To tell you all the truth im just really frustrated and im really insecured because im afraid of getting a REALLY low computer because im haven't use a decent computer for HD gaming except at the internet cafe. :/

Cuz I'm dying to see him fight again, especially after the Bradley decision B#@%Sh#% . The last fight sucked but can't wait for his next one.

James Convento · Apr 8, 2013

@ashish

well im really thankful to you for responding for most of my threads well, may the i3-3210 which had the lowest price from the rest of the i3's here. . .

Heres the final really this is gonna be the final. and might get to 2-3 months or more of building for a 15 year old like me.

Processor: Intel Core i3-3210 (3.2G) 3mb
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M LE V/S/GL/virtu/usb3
GPU: GTX 650 Ti
HDD: 500gb WDigital Blue Sata3 7200rpm
RAM: 8gb Genesis (1866C9D3K2/8GX) 2x4 (is this frequency to high? or a 1600Mhz will do?)
PSU: FSP HEXA [Eff>85%] 500w
Casing: Cougar spike or maybe a Raidmax Viper. . .

Is this okay? im still insecured and frustated though. . .
