I'm planning to buy a new budget computer to play older games from 6-7 years ago such as GTA IV and Assassin's Creed 2. I will not do any video encoding.
How can I choose a Haswell Intel CPU which is on par with a particular GPU such as the GeForce GT 730 GDDR5? I watched youtube videos that suggest using benchmarks but PassMark benchmarks are severely flawed because the "Baselines" section (at the very bottom of that link) show 5 completely different values (apparently, Passmark simply takes an average).
So, how can I know if I should buy a $140 i3, a $75 Pentium G or would a $50 Celeron G be on par. I'm on a low budget and there is a $90 difference. Any method to tell if a Celeron G would max out the GT 730 or would I need a Pentium G or an i3 to max it out?
