Which one is the best gaming set?

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

Which one of this sets would be the best for gaming only?

I don't intend to upgrade for many years.

Need the set that can provide me the most fps in general since I play all types of games (mostly new ones).

I want a build to handle future games at playable fps even if I have to lower the graphics quality to the minimum. I just want to have playable fps.

Which one of these would give me the best gaming performance for now and for the future?

- i5-3470 + gtx760

- OC'ed i5-3570k + gtx650ti/hd7850 1GB (maybe club3d 2GB one)

- not-OC'ed i5-3570k + hd7870xt

- OC'ed fx6300 + gtx760

- not-OC'ed fx6300 + gtx660ti/hd7950

- OC'ed fx8350 + hd7850

- not-OC'ed fx8350 + hd7870xt

Don't say things like "you should save money and buy 3570k and hd7950 instead"

Thanks!

PS: When I say OC'ed is when it has a proper overclocking mobo and cooling. Not OC'ed has budget mobo and has no cooling.

I would say the first one, but why Ivy Bridge instead of Haswell?

Fox_ :

The price equivalent to the ivy bridge ones have lower performance.

For example i5 3470 is better than i5 4430, both 175€

goncalopoeiras :

Oh, it's just not a great idea trying to be future proof with a year-old cpu in my opinion, but in this case it makes sense I suppose. So I still say first option, as the main part of gaming is the graphics card and the 760 is a great one for the price.

avilash98 :

You said i7, and he obviously cares about money and that wasn't even an option.

DarkSable · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

Dude... what are you smoking? There's absolutely no reason to buy an i7-3770k for gaming. It performs EXACTLY the same as an i5-3570k does, but costs $100 more.

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

I don't remember saying i7 was an option and I don't remember saying I dont care about bucks.
Just choose one of those please, they are all the same price.

Fox_ :

All the sets are the same price so just choose the best in gaming performance. And I need this fast, I want to order the parts today.

Thanks

goncalopoeiras :

Why are you going with Ivy over haswell?

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

You didnt said i5 and I didnt even write nothing about 770.

Fox_ :

Exactly!

DarkSable :

So which one of those options do you think is better?

Really need this today guys. Thanks

The i5 and GTX 760 would be best for gaming.

goncalopoeiras :

Why are you going with Ivy over haswell?

Because its more expensive and I would have to get a cheaper gpu, like a gtx 650. I don't think its better.

avilash98 :

Why buy an i7 and then have a cheaper gpu? Is that future proof?

Fox_ · Jul 6, 2013

Do I get best answer?

Intel God · Jul 6, 2013

goncalopoeiras :

Works for me :lol:

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

Don't say things like "you should save money and buy 3570k and hd7950 instead"

I even bolded it.

I'm on a budget dude, why don't you guys just say one of those sets I've put?

DarkSable · Jul 6, 2013

I second the vote for the i5 and 760. That'll give you the best performance for the longest amount of time.

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

Fox_ :

Probably yes, since no one answers the question.

Intel God :

I said I don't intend on upgrading my build for many years and since games are more gpu intensive I don't think that would be a good idea. Can you just choose from one of those sets?

avilash98 :

I don't even understand what you write. But I think you were trying to say to go intel over amd.
Thanks for the info. But can you just choose one of the sets?

Intel God · Jul 6, 2013

Overclocked 6300/760 gets my vote.

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

DarkSable :

Thanks. i5+760 is winning.

avilash98 :

WHY DON'T YOU JUST CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE SETS?

I don't have the money to buy i5 3570k + gtx760, so I didn't included it into option.

What don't you get from that?

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

Intel God :

+1 for oc 6300+760

avilash98 :

+1 for i5+760

i5+760 has 3 votes
oc'ed 6300+760 has 1 vote

Thanks guys

OP dont waste your money on a locked processor or socket 1155. If you cant afford a 4670K/Z87 board the 6300/970 UD3 would be a great combo

Fox_ · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

Before he does that, you go to school.

goncalopoeiras · Jul 6, 2013

avilash98 :

Just forget it.

Intel God :

Why not? From what I've seen locked i5 still have better performance in games than 6300 overclock to hell.

Just look at the difference, even if overclocked it cant reach the i5 3470.
