Based on CPUBoss' scores, the G3258 scores better than the core i3 models, especially at the overclocking. It's also a lot cheaper. I'm planning to buy a G3258, along with 4GB of RAM and a new motherboard.
Now, my question is: How well would the G3258 do in gaming WITHOUT overclocking it? My primary PC has a core i3 3220 with 4GB RAM and does pretty well in low-medium quality gaming.
I am not a heavy gamer, I have a life outside of that. Since I found the G3258 as a bang for the buck CPU, I was set on buying it.
Most YT and User reviews on the G3258 are usually about the overclocked version, but I want to know how it is unclocked.
I will handle the GPU decisions myself, but for now, I want you guys to help me with this. Thanks.
