I am trying to help a friend but not sure whats wrong. He has a 2gb gtx 960, 12gb of RAM and the i3? Im quite confident he should be able to get decent frames on low but cant get over 10 :O. Any ideas on what he can do to improve the frames?

Battlefield 1 could be played on a dual core but the makers of the game programed the game to run better on a cpu with more than two cores. An I3 can only take you so far when we are in a Quad-Core gaming era

If your building a computer to check e-mail surf the Internet and watch movies go with the i3 because you don't need 4 cpu cores to do that but if your building a gaming computer than don't but a i3 because games is starting to become a quad core standard and the i3 will struggle in the long run and hyper threading does no equal more cores it just line up the next task right away one after another with no breaks so the processor will move on to the next task right away and don't have to wait. Intel a strong edge over Amd in single core performance that's what DX11 do best and the i3 does very well in games favoring single core performance so when you look at the numbers it's a great buy but if you pay attention to what game makers are starting to do is having games mostly AAA games a quad core standard and these days it's easy to get caught up in a dual core wave when the dual core gaming era was the 90's now if you buy an i3 and plan to upgrade when you have the money than thats fine but if you buy a i3 for a build you want to game heavy on then it will start to show it's age as soon a you want to play that game that requires a quad core minimum.
