Dear poeple from tomshardware

im sorry for making a thread of this, but am kinda abit in a dilemma.

im playing only world of warcraft (no other games), upgrading pc
im leaning towards a gtx 960, cause that will be more comfortable with my budget,
would the extra 150 euro worth the upgrade to a gtx 970?

my current spec's are

Intel G3258 (@4,3Ghz)
MSi gaming 5 z97
r7 250 graphics card

hope you guys can give an advice.

I just checked online there is a discount at the moment for a i3 4370 (3,8Ghz) would that be a decent upgrade combined with the Gtx 960?

or is the i5 allot better for world of warcraft?

Any intel processor made in the last 3-5 years should be more than enough. I doubt the i3 will be any better for WoW as it will only make use of two cores and wont use the hyper threading on the i3 or the extra two cores on the i5. The i3 or i5 would be better if you plan to play more demanding games, but for WoW i doubt there would be any difference between the G3258 and an i3. An i5 is just overkill for WoW.
 


dont bother with the i3. and i5 would be an actual upgrade.
