Performance will be worse , but still good enough in games like Starcraft, Skyrim etc that do not use multicore processor well

Thanks i might get a i5 and use the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and wait until the sales next month and try and pick up a GPU cheaper. It should be able to handle cs:go and football manager

I was looking around at some posts and videos on it and it should run CS:GO good and football manager does not really need a high end GPU so it should do me for a month or 2 while i wait to get a GPU
