Aiming for a budget of £450 (my first build also), I'm stuck about what processor to buy. Any extra spent on CPU eating into money that can be spent on GPU, however I don't want the processor to be a bottleneck nor need upgrading in the near future.
AMD fx 6300 is ~£72
I3 4330 is ~£88
AMD fx 8320 ~£102
Then CPUs Jump in price, with an I5 of any sort being £120 plus, and an FX 8350 having a £30 premium (£130).
My dilemma is whether the price hike for an I5 is worth it over, say, a fx 6300 if my GPU ends up bottlenecking, or whether Ill need to upgrade more quickly if I chose the i5.
An example build I threw together for just over is here : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Turret/saved/KZc48d
But I'm not sure whether the extra £30 spent on the i5 would be better spent on a GPU.
What CPU would be best for this budget? Are there any GPUs that go well with the CPU so they do not bottleneck eachother?
