Celeron g530 and gtx 560 ti 448?

[marshal11]

hey, im building a new rig and im on a budget here. im planning on getting a celeron g530 2.4 GHz (its sandy bridge, so its a i3 without hyperthreading) and a gtx 560 ti 448. will the g530 bottleneck? if it will then il get a i3 2120, because i know for sure that wont bottleneck, then later on throw in a i5 2500k.

Get the i3.

I'd get the g840 with the 560 ti.

I'd get the g840 with the 560 ti.

i dont wanna get that cpu because it seems like too much money for an extra .4 GHz. the g530 is 50$ where the g850 (the 840 isnt availbe on newegg, its 2.9 GHz) is 90$. can you overclock the g530 at all? i know the multiplier is locked.

 

[amuffin]

Nope you can't oc any of them, however the g850 would be a much better choice than the celeron.

 

[esrever]

nope, no OC at all. The 0.4 ghz is worth it for $40 imo.

okay. i guess the extra 40$ is worth it. especially sense now i dont have to say my new budget gaming rig is celeron powered XD ah, terrible history of the celerons. poor celeron. the g530 beats my i3 370M too, by more then youd think.
