a b K Overclocking
September 6, 2014 7:13:56 AM

Hello,
I am building a new computer, and as I'm kinda of a newbie, I have two choices:
1, Go with the G3258 and all the stuff required to overclock
OR
2, Go with something along the lines of a Core i3-4150 and not overclock
The overclocking option will take more money and time but MAY yield better results.
If I go with OC, I will get:
G3258
Hyper 212 EVO
Decent Z97 board
If not:
i3-4150?
H97 board
So, which option is better?

Thanks in advance!

Go with the i3. It will perform much better than even a fully overclocked G3258.

Is it because of the Hyper-Threading? If yes, will games like Minecraft take advantage of it?
