is the i5-3550p a good choice?

Joebow · Mar 11, 2014

I am a newcomer to the world of pc so if I was to build a mainly gaming computer with the specs of:
8Gb of Ram
GeForce GTX 770
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe
would the choice of an i5 3550p be a good choice or is there a better one within the same sort of price range.

for the price, yes, it's a nice choice.

you could also save a fair bit getting a cheaper motherboard seeing as you got no plans to overclock the CPU. if you're looking for an ITX build;

That would be fine for great fps in most games, i5's are awesome for gaming.

no need to spend more that will be as good as anything.

I recommend that you get this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116896 The upgrade to Haswell will be well worth the $20 more.
