Hey guys, I am having some trouble deciding my next build. Planning on a budget of close to 1200 for the system not including peripherals as I have those already.

My goal is to be able to play games like swtor, bf4, crysis 3, cod,titan fall and just about any other the game that comes out in the next year or two on high settings if not maxed. I'm confused with what I should go with as far as CPU and mono and vid card

Last PC I built it was phenom ii or i7.
Now there is a million processor choices. What do you recommend?
Thanks in advance

Which i5?


Any of them, 4670 is the best if you want the best.
