Hello.
I am building my first Personal Gaming PC and have a budget of $900.
I wanted to know what impact on Gaming Performance and Video Rendering would switching to a cheaper alternative to the i5 4690K or sticking with this processor would have. I still want a fast enough Quad-Core CPU without overclocking because I will be looking to splurge on a CPU cooler in the near future but not right now. I am going to be pairing it with a MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition motherboard, Hyper Fury X 16GB RAM 1866MHz with XMP profile enabled (2 x 8GB) and a Radeon R9 280X or a R9 290. I think a cheaper alternative is the i5 4670K since I can get it for $50 cheaper in my country. I live in a tropical climate where temps go up to 48C in summers but hopefully with an air conditioner that won't be an issue, right? I want to go particularly big on the graphics card, peripherals and aesthetics.Unfortunately, this processor is sucking up 30% of my budget.
Thank you.
