hello, i'm planning on upgrading in budget build for gaming. i have an ati 7870, a cooler master 550W psu and i need new mobo, cpu & ram (i'm thinking in 8gb):
so watching prices (i live in Argentina) i get to this 2 options (without ram):
all 3 motherboards are asrock, prices are from argentina in our currency:
(a) h81 mobo ($700) + i3-4170 ($1900) = $2600
(b) h81 mobo ($700) + i5-4440 ($3000) = $3700
(c) 970 mobo ($1700)+ fx-6300 ($1700) = $3400
so, considering i'm going soft/medium gaming:
im fine with the i3?
really worth getting the i5?
if i go for the 6300 and do overclock, it outperforms the i5? (extra $800/1000 on cpu cooler)
im most between the i3 and the i5, but have doubts on the mobo
