I5 7500 + GTX 1060 3G VS I3 7100 + GTX 1060 6g

XHYPED · Jul 27, 2017

Hi everyone, I want to build a new pc for gaming and I need to choose between a pc with i5 7500 and an gtx 1060 3gb version or a pc with i3 7100 and an gtx 1060 6gb version.
I'm mentioning that in future I want to make an upgrade, if I choose the first pc, i would upgrade the gpu, and if I choose the second pc, i would upgrade the processor.
What do you think that I should do?
Sorry for my bad english

Go with Pentium g4560 ( better performance for the price vs the i3 -7100) and 1060 6gb if you are gonna upgrade the cpu in the future

I said that i need to choose, i can't switch the components.

XHYPED :

Depens on when you gonna upgrade , if upgrade in less than year go with i5 ,if not the i3 ( thats what i would do if i were in your position, wait for more opinions though)

I recommend taking the i5 w/ the 1060 3G. The i5 will last you awhile, and shouldn't need to upgrade it for a few years, whereas graphics card upgrades typically make the most sense down the road.

If you think about it, Look at how many gamers are still using the 2nd generation i7. As the years past the processor still held up, and the only thing they really needed to upgrade was the graphics card.

if those are your only two options, get the i5 with the 1060 3gb.
i dont see a big difference at all between the 3gb and 6gb version of the 1060 whereas there is a large difference between the i3 and the i5

Thanks, for the answers, i will go with i5 7500 and 1060 3gb.
