BF4, Crysis 3 CPU recommendatoins ?

Solution
No. Either go with the i5 4460 for Battlefield or the i5 4690K if you want to overclock. For Crysis 3, it benefits a lot from multi and hyper threading, so an i7 CPU is a monster performer here (not necessary worth it for the cost though), especially if overclocked. An unoverclockable alternative is the Xeon 1231 v3, which I've heard is capable of playing Crysis 3 at amazing settings. Either way, for both games an i5 4690K should suffice for playing, especially if you aren't aiming at insane settings.

no there not! but depends on price what you already have for psumobo ect! as amd draw more heat an power but are cheaper they overclock pretty well.intel on the otherhand draw less watts an less heat but are more expensive. as far a single core or single threaded games intels smoke amds. i use both so its a toss up on what you have for budjet at the time. so whats your budget? already have a case psu ect an we can comparible price builds
