What cpu to buy? i5 660 or 750

[stojke]

I have seen this question many times, but im still not sure which of these two should i buy.

The prices are almost exact, where i5 750 is 10euros cheaper.
I want to buy a pc for gaming, program usage, net...
So im wondering what are their differences and which one should i buy.

Get the 750 the 660 is only dual core while the 750 is a quad and the best CPU for gaming before you go beyond reason and also great for overclocking.

I would go for the 750 too.

750 is the no brainer.

Hello stojke;

Here is a benchmark comparison between the i5 660 dual core and the i5 750 quad core
Hopefully that will help explain why we're all suggesting the i5 750 for you.

One reason the i5 650 is near the same price as the i5 750 is that it has a video chip built onto the CPU package.
It's a better option for a HTPC or a general purpose PC but the built in Intel HD Graphics isn't up to snuff for 3D gaming.

The i5 750 is better, currently there's a good price on centralcomputer.
