Pentium G3258 PC Vs I5 4690k PC

CryingLegend · Aug 17, 2014

I'm going to buy a pc but I don't know I should choose the intel oentium g3258 or the i5. If I choose the I5 then I have to use the hd 4600 for gaming. and If I choose the Pentium then I can have a gpu. I don't think I will have a huge upgrade in the future.

Will you save money for a GPU when you get the i5.

But if you do get the Pentium, then I would like to say in 2-3 years time you might need to upgrade the CPU.

I would get an i5 as it can play all games at high-ultra when paired up with a good end gpu.And 4690k is really a high end one.And you can even overclock it to a good extent with a liquid cooling.It is best to go with i5 rather than pentium as you need to upgrade your cpu after 1-2 years.So better get an i5 and use your hd 4600 graphics.and dont forget to increase the memory of your hd 4600 graphics by sharing some memory from ram in the bios menu.And just take your time to save some money and get a good end gpu.The best one for the price are
GT 630 (low end card) HD 6670 (low end card)
GTX 650 (low-mid end card) HD 7770 (low-mid end card)
GTX 660 (mid end card) R9 260x (mid end card)
GTX 660ti (high end card) R9 270x (high end card)
GTX 770 (high-ultra end card) R9 280x (high-ultra end card)
GTX 780 (ultra end card) R9 290 (ultra end card)
GTX 780ti (max out card) R9 290x (max out card)
Here are the list of graphics card depending upon your budget and any graphic card listed above paired up with 4690k would perform well.So grab one before its too late

If you buy a r9 280 or above an i5 is needed so you dont bottleneck, r9 270x and below is the perfect match for a 3258 as long as you OC.
