Looking to build a PC with Christmas money (yes, I'm only 15 but i feel like I've researched for long enough to know the ins and outs of a gaming pc) and I was wondering which would be a better choice.
I know that due to 4 cores, the 740 would perform better on things like BF4 and generally Frostbite 3 games, but really I am going to get a PS4 so i can play FPSs with a majority of my friends. Therefore, this (HEAVILY budget) PC is more aimed at older games and indie games, although please note that i do want to play at least most next-gen games at whatever settings that keep my fps at 30+).
So would the G3320 be the better option for the next year or so? Bear in mind that next Christmas I will probably upgrade the CPU (I reckon a HD 7750 will do for the next two years at low settings).
Originally I wanted to get the 740 for the quad core, but generally due to the G3220 essentially being a Haswell i3 w/out hyper-threading, and having it work out to be £30 cheaper, the Pentium sounds like the better option.
