Hi, guys i am making a computer build. I have selected an I5 processor with B85M mobo.

My question goes like this i have already crossed my budget and i have still cabinet to buy.If i do buy an i3 with h81 mobo i can save some money and use it buy a graphics card like 750Ti,I want to know that is an i3 enough for gaming or i should buy an i5.

Processors are i5 4460
And i3 4160

Thank u

If your budget means choosing between an i5 and b85m (using integrated graphics) or i3, b85m and 750ti, go with the i3. The 750ti is much better than the igpu and would be a balanced build. In several games the i5 performs a bit better but the graphics card is going to be the biggest limiting factor at this budget. Faster graphics cards also game better but cost a lot more money, for a 750ti the i3 would be a nice match and give you better gaming than an i5 without a dedicated graphics card.
