First of all do not start a fanboy war here. I am asking for advise and opinion.
NOTE: Do not give me stupid answers like go for an i5 or i7 I am on tight budget and I am sure these games will work on these cpus just on lower settings or fps which I do not mind.
The games I wish to play properly since my current rig will stutter:
Borderlands 2
Crysis 3
Metro 2033 and Last Light redux
can someone give me the benchmark results of these two cpu's running on these games please?
what is the advantage of the i3 from the X4 aside from "fast single core performance" is that really needed today? I mean more and more games are utilizing more and more cores and I am hesitant on getting the i3 since it is not a true quadcore... can it even run Farcry 4?
the X4 860K on the other hand is a quadcore though has somewhat a lackluster single core performance and is budget oriented.
What are the best GPU for these cpu's and how far can it go? can the 860k and i3 even handle a gtx 960 or 970 without bottle-necking?
What I like about the AMD is the price... for the price of this cpu I can get the mobo as well compared to the i3. But I think there will be a problem for mobo BIOS updates since the 860k is a new cpu thanks.
