it all depends on the screen resolution. Assuming 1080p, some games that are not CPU intensive will run at high-ish settings but in games that are CPU intensive like Arma3 for example you will barely see medium settings smoothly.

I would change to an i3 for sure. it will drastically help your performance in CPU heavy games.

Ok but what i3 would you recommend. Also what do you keen by screen resolution.

tiny voices · Feb 17, 2015

Like the resolution of the monitor. 1920x1080 for example.

Get an i3 4150 and an h97 motherboard. Also drop the CPU cooler. This will cost the same as the Pentium setup but perform miles better.

I'm so sorry I'm a missive noob could you give me links to these components. I'm a 14 year old and I'm learning about them on my own because my it teacher is useless

Resolution is the number of pixels on a screen. You've probably heard of 1080 or 720. Those are screen resolutions. 1920 x 1080 is 1080 and 1280 x 720 is 720. The resolution as a direct impact on the workload a processor (CPU) and graphics card (GPU). The higher the resolution, the more work a component will have to do.

Ok thx I have a better idea. My money I'm willing to pay is £500 if I need to pay a little bit over it isn't a problem. I'm looking to play new releases on medium to high settings. Eg farcry 4 and dying light.

tiny voices · Feb 17, 2015

You REALLY want an i3 if Farcry 4 and Dying Light are 2 games you plan to play.

These are what I would recommend.

tiny voices · Feb 17, 2015

That is a great option. I would go with that for sure actually.

Mechwaffle :

Do you need an OS included in your build?

Alexdiaz · Feb 17, 2015

Any game really. The dual core might hold you back a bit in more demanding games.
