Hi,
I'm building a first PC/gaming rig for my son. We are very new to this, and our budget is very tight.
So far I have an EVGA Z370 FTW motherboard, 2 x 4GB DDR4 RAM, and a GTX970 GPU.
The PC will be used mainly for gaming (Fortnite and similar), and there is no intention to overclock.
While I was considering saving up for an i5-8400 I've read positive things about the i3-8100 and wondering if it would be up to the task? I note it is compatible with the Z370 and it is 2/3 of the price.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing replies.
Matt
