Hi, Im recently making a gaming budget rig and I decided to go with the i5 3570 because its an actual 4core so I could play games like Farcry 3, Crysis 3........ I was wondering if I can play them on high settings at 1080p with the Sapphire 6850 toxic with 35+fps with less shadows and aa ??????? Were I live theyre selling the 6850 for 66 $ and the i5 3570 for 210 $ If I can play these games on very high setting on 1080i its all right with me :D

6850 is quite week for 1808p gaming nowadays. Games like Crysis3 won't get you playable framerate at high settings 1080p using i5 + 6850. However, the price tag of 6850 there is very nice, it just that you shouldn't expect too much from that purchase. Less demanding titles won't cause problems.

Hi thx for the quick reply, how about an i3 3220 with a gtx 660, ive geard that it gives some interesting results but bottlenecks the gtx 660 in Crysis 3?
 


Yes the i3 will bottleneck gtx660 in crysis3 due to having just 2 cores. I3 isn't very eficicent for gaming, thou. From Pentium to i3, you play mostly for Hyper-threading technology, which is useless in most games.

I suggest picking the i5. VGAs can be upgraded easily later. The i5 cpu will still be good for gaming in the next few years.
