So, I'm Building a PC here it is so far (no parts have been purchased yet):

CPU- I5 4430 (no OC)
Motherboard- GA-B85M-D3H
Ram- 8gbs Kingston (2x4gb)
GPU- Sapphire R7 260X
PSU- CX600
HDD- WD 1TB

My question is should I get the I5 4430 mentioned above or should I save a bit more money and get the i3 4340 which has less cores but a significantly higher clock speed? With the money I save I can put it to the GPU.

As you can see, the difference is marginal. The difference is so small I'd recommend you go with the i5-4430. You should invest on a beter gpu.(like a r9 270/270x or a hd 7870/7950.
