confused between the cpu . pentium g3258 or athlon x4 860k

Confused of which one to put with r9 270x with a h81md asus mobo.. the pentium has good performance at oc speeds.. however some games require minimum of 4 cores to run sk confused with which one to choose.

Hello... The best value is with the Intel MB... Down the road you will be able to put a i5, i7 into that very same MB.
Here is a general Performance Chart for CPU's... http://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html

Im confused with the cpu..

if you get that mobo you will be unable to put the AMD CPU in it anyways

also, a greater number of cores in a CPU does not always indicate that it is better or faster.

Hello... http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+G3258+%40+3.20GHz
That CPU performs like my old Q9550 Quad.

But far cry 4 and watch dogs requirements include a quad core processor. So its obvious i wont be able to run them with the pentium. Or will i be able to?

I wouldn't expect you to be able to run them at anything higher than low settings

So thats why shudnt i get the x4 860k and change the mobo as well?

I believe the G3258 has a slight edge in performance, but it's only dual-core.

The 860k has 4 cores, but it's far less efficient. Which means more power, heat etc.

In games which can make use of multiple cores, the 860k hands down. It won't have a stuttering problem like the G3258.

If you can I would opt for an i3 4150 which will outperform or tie with the 860k, but still has an upgrade path.
