If you are building a system for purely gaming and normal desktop use then stick with i5 otherwise if you have budget and are considering the i7 then you can go for i7 though i7 would not give any performance benefits for gaming over i5. For gaming both would be at par. Real benefit of i7 will come when using it for heavy graphics work etc.
Wonder what was that line!

Please post your thread only when you are about to buy the PC as asking right now would have effect on prices and with passage of time advancement in tech is introducing new models etc. It would be helpful if thread is created at that time.

Only if you plan on doing heavily threaded or alot of multi tasking stuff.. ie, Photoshop, Video Rendering, Streaming, Recording, etc etc. CAD/3D design, other wise no.. It will give no benefit for gaming.

Honestly, I don't recommend overclocking the processor. The costs are higher and performance gain is extremely minimal. You should purchase a non-overclockable processor and motherboard, save funds and spend more on a better GPU in my opinion; although the build posted above is still more than adequate.

I'll put together a build for you as soon as I hop onto my computer.

P.S. Do you need WiFi on your build or are you planning to connect to the Internet via Ethernet?

All the best. :)

Yeah, the build I listed should shred through any game no problem. If not then somewhere you got a faulty part lol.
 
Sorry for late reply. This build is bit above your budget but it is so because of selection of good components:

The above build features an Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 processor, which performs on par with the i7-4770 whilst made more affordable. I've also selected a Z97 motherboard for you, compatible with Broadwell, 4 RAM slots and SLI/CrossFire ready. The PSU I have selected is also capable of running multiple graphics card, and is a SeaSonic unit; not only so, but if you take consideration into cable management, you're going to want a semi-modular PSU (which I have included).

I have also included the GTX 970 which performs similar to the GTX 780 Ti, and a full HD 24" Acer monitor.

All the best. :)
 
Xeon is a good replacement of i7 but with two limitations: It does not have built-in GPU (for which you are already covered because you would be buying discrete GPU) and It can't be overclocked. Xeon is basically a Server Grade CPU particularly their E5 line but E3 is an exception to that.

If you are building a gaming rig and has an option for i5 with overclocking potential, I would not recommend Xeon in that scenario. Plus if you are building a system in which you would be gaming and doing some graphics work (heavy) then grab Xeon or better i7 with overclocking potential. Do read reviews on the components under consideration.

Will it be good for games wich I will be gaming?Like battlefield 4 assasins creed black flag counter strike global offensive?How much fps will i get because this card just got to the market and cant find any video showing the results of the card in the games wich i mentioned.Thanks again
 


If you are building a system for purely gaming and normal desktop use then stick with i5 otherwise if you have budget and are considering the i7 then you can go for i7 though i7 would not give any performance benefits for gaming over i5.
