Should i buy Fx-8350 or i5 3570 or i5 3570k

Galih Carlos · Apr 10, 2017

So im going to build a gaming pc in a short time on really low budget. Should i go with...

Fx-8350 and MSI 760GM-P23

I5 3570 or I5 3570k (Any good mobo recommendation? That under $70)

And im going to use RX 480 4gb.
Or is there any equivalent cpu with almost same price?

I5 is the better out of the lot. But, if you can, try and at least get a Haswell socket CPU. In terms of motherboards, try and avoid anything with a 'H' prefix.

None of the above. You can get an i3-7100 and that will be a far better performer than any thing you've chosen. How much are you looking to spend?

G unit, the i5 3570k is certainly better than the i3 7100.

The i3 7100 has a significant IPC advantage and a clockspeed advantage. The i3 6100 was a match for the i5 2400, and the i3 7100 is clocked 200mhz higher. Personally, I'd trade my 3rd gen i5 for a 7th gen i3 any day of the week.

Only in a couple of areas, but there's no upgrade path with a 3570K, where plenty of upgrade opportunities are possible with the i3-7100. If you want to pay a bit more, even an i5-7500 is better than the 3570K is given the CPU's age.

Get a 7100.
As said by @g-unit1111 , you can easily upgrade as you go considering the chipset socket is Kaby Lake.
FX processors are a bad buy in 2017.
Ivy bridge chips aren't a good buy in this day and age. Although the 3750k has good clock rates, a decent ammount of cores and lithography, its killed by its lack of threads.
Getting a cheap 7100 can leave your pocket open for getting a 7500 or even a 7600k in the future.

Depends on the motherboard. I wouldn't put a 7600K on a H270, though some H270 boards do let you overclock. But I wouldn't put an unlocked 7600K on say a B250 board. I definitely agree that the FX-8350 is a terrible buy especially with R5s coming this week and R3s coming relatively soon.

GamingEnthusiast420 · Apr 10, 2017

True.
Here is a guide for OP:
Unlocked processor: Z270 motherboard
Non-unlocked: B250

Even if he skips OC he can still get a 7400, 7500, 7600 or a 7700 and it will still run the games of the future.

Yeah that's exactly my line of thinking - you're limiting yourself by buying a 4 year old CPU to begin with. Usually with processors, the newer the better, and even if you're on a limited budget you're better off buying something newer than something that's 4 years old. Plus with the new CPU comes support for new tech like M2-2280, DDR4, etc, which ensures that your system will last longer (ie future proofing) than it would if you buy something that's old to begin with.

Ok then, if im going with the 1700 what is the best component should i use (can't go more than $645, not include OS)
