Hi guys,
I recently bought the sapphire r9 270x Dual-X GPU.
My CPU is core 2 quad Q8200, PSU is of 500 watts (gold).
I am looking to purchase the intel i5 4590 and am unable to decide on the motherboard for it.
I want the mobo to have support for 1600Mhz RAM, sata3 6GB port, atleast 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 GPU slot (2 slots at x16/x8 would be good) and micro ATX sized.
I will use an SSD + HDD.
i would like to buy another r9 270x in future and crossfire them. (not very sure though).
My budget is around 6000 to 8000 Indian rupees (INR) (or 100 to 135 $).
For reference 1 US dollar ~ 60 INR.
Indian websites : www.primebgb.com, www.theitdepot.com, www.flipkart.com.
My opinion:
I went for intel i5 instead of 8320/8350 because the price difference between them and i5's isn't much as it is in the USA. Heat, to much power draw were reasons as well.
Among i5's, 4590 is 234$ whereas i5 4670K is 275$. So, i think the difference in price is not justified.
on the other hand, recent games like watch dogs seem to use all 4 cores of mine. will future games use 4+ cores ? so wont a 8350 will be a better choice ?
Please let me know of your opinion on this.
Additionally, lets say i'll buy a mobo with 1 pci 3.0 slot only.
so how huge is the difference between the below mentioned mobo's ? Will i loose performance/reliability ? Is the expensive one worth it ?
