My son and I are building a gaming computer and have read a lot of information about various CPUs but cannot decide which of the Intel i5 chips is best. He is not a heavy gamer but wants to have a desktop that would scale up as he plays more.
Here is the list of parts:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
PSU: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case: Antec Nine Hundred ATX Mid Tower Case (has three fans)
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card (Debating on this one, too)
A couple of the CPUs we are considering - Intel® Core™ i5-4570 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz) OR the Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor. The prices are so close in the Intel chips (plus or minus $20) - can anyone guide us to how these chips differ? Can you tell a big difference when you are playing?
Appreciate any help you can offer - thanks.
