Which computer would you pick?

Diego Noe · May 20, 2014

I'm soon buying a pc and I don't know which one to choose, both are for the same price and the 2. has only 120GB sdd but I could change it for a 1TB HD and with the 1. aswell (1TB)

1. INTEL-i5-4570,GTX760-2G,500HD,8G-RAM, 550W

2. i5-4670K,GTX660-2G,120SSD,8G-RAM, 550W

So, which one would you prefer?

Rationale · May 20, 2014

The first one, definitely.

cabudinen · May 20, 2014

the first one, does the second only has an SSD as storage? you will fill that drive with BF4 and 2 mp3 files.

I'm able to change the 120GB for a 1TB HD, same wih the first one, the only difference would be the processor and graphic card

Diego Noe :

First one FTW!

I will of course game and MAYBE stream sometimes, but now I've seen this one:

i3-4130,GTX660-2G,500HD,8G-RAM, 550W and it's 350$ cheaper, do you think that would be ok for gaming and sometimes stream?

and btw, the motherboard for the 1. & 2. is the asus b85m-g and this new one asus H81

i3's are not that great for gaming, you will end up regreting it and spending more money afterwards, just get the i5, you will need it for streaming and recording your awesome gameplay.

unknownofprob · May 20, 2014

look, $350 is quite a lot less for what your getting, If that price is a lot better for you, then go for the i3 option.

The i3 is still a good processor, and will perform the same as an i5 when the i3 isn't being pushed. Depending on the game, the i5 is obviously better, but for the price/performance difference for the whole PC setups, no the i5 is not worth it.

My main games at the moment are League of Legends, cs:go and sometimes I may play bf 4 or cod ghost, it doesnt worry me a lot to play games in "ULTRA" quality so would that be fine with the i3 computer if I play them in normal? and if the i3 is not good for streamin I might just dont do it

With all that would it be bette to pick the 3. one?

cabudinen · May 20, 2014

Get the i5! trust me on this! BF4 will run like crap with the i3.

BF4, i5.

The i3 4130 is fine for current games... Not so fine for future games. Performs about the same as an FX-6300.

For streaming, you should really get a quad-core i5 CPU. The extra perfomance and cores are worth it!

BlasterX :

Ok, thanks everyone for helping me. I'll buy the INTEL-i5-4570,GTX760-2G,500HD,8G-RAM, 550W asap

unknownofprob · May 20, 2014

yep, that is easily the best option. Enjoy!

dish_moose · May 20, 2014

I agree with the i5 and the best gpu you can afford. Games will almost always use what you have and want more.

I3 for demanding or multi player is not the way to go.

Diego Noe :

Here you go.

You may want to get 1TB, since they only cost you 20$ more, and when having lot of games and media, 500GB HDD is not enough, and even you may not use whole 1TB it's better to have free space to not crash or slow down the HDD.
