Which one of these would you recommend i buy? im looking for something to play games on medium to high or better if possible and i would also llike the cpu chosen to last me 3 years or longer if possible im buying this instead of the new consoles coming out iv always been a console gamer but wanna give pc gaming a swing instead other then gaming i will be doing basic computer stuff just online web browsing youtube, netflix, social networking (forums and facebook and such)
1. i5 3470 http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ForteEXE/saved/1JK6 (This is my non ocing build since i have no idea how to oc anyways and im not sure how important it even is i thought id get a non oc for like 180 and get a better GPU but with this chip im buying a dead socket with haswell being out making later upgrading more $)
2. FX-8350 http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ForteEXE/saved/1JKl (This is a ocing capable processor for not too much more then the i5 3470 and i hear future console games are using 8 cores so this could be a good choice also the next series of amd processors are still using the AM3 chip set making a MOBO i get for this reusable)
3. i5 3570k http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ForteEXE/saved/1JKF (This is the cpu MOST people suggest it also cost the most... this one is also overcloackable but because of the higher cost i have to get a slightly cheaper GPU going with the HD 7850 instead of the 7870 and like the i5 3470 is also a dead socket making upgrading few years down the road more $ since haswell chip sets use a different socket)
With choice 2 and 3 i dont plan to oc at first since i dont know how and cant afford a aftermarket heat sink at the time of purchase but later down the road ill buy a heat sink and look into ocing to get more out of the cpu as it gets older and more outdated by newer cpus being released.
So which one would yall recommend right now? and wich is best to choose for future proofing??? Which ever build you choose if you would make ANY changes to it what would the changes be keeping in mind im trying to stay as close to say 850 dollars as i possibly can...
