Just curious what the minimum intel CPU I could get by with to play COG and Battlefield 4? I am researching components and my highest requirements is for these two games. I am not looking for a system build at the time but researching components on a single level.

Thanks but I believe I will stay with Intel for now.. not telling what my research will discover though.

Just curious on the parts picker it has "Combo" listed.. what does this mean? Also, can anyone point me to a good article on CPUs? I just discovered that the i5 has built in video? I guess this works through a motherboard without integrated video but with a built in port for a monitor?

I think that would be for single player campaign on low settings, on 64mp my 4ghz athlon quad was pretty much pinned at 90% on all cores medium settings though playable at 45-70fps, cant see those cpus getting frames on mp being playable.

So it looks like I've found that if I am going to build a desktop and I've determined my minimum cpu spec is the i5 for Battlefield and COD then the Intel Core i5-4690K is probably the one I need to get... best i5 for gaming?
