i'm torn between the i5 2500k and i7 2600
my goal is to get a rig that runs smoothly when playing games. i don't do much recording, streaming, photo video editing and a noob when it comes to specifics.
i want something that can run games like the witcher 2, CODMW3, diablo 3 really smoothly.
also, these are the boards available in my area, which would be the best one in terms of performance?
ASUS P8H61-M LE
ASUS P8H61-M LX
GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2-B3
GIGABYTE H61M-D2-B3
GIGABYTE H61M-DS2
MSI H61M-E23 B3
MSI H61M-E33 B3
memory: KINGSTON 4GB DDR3 PC10600/1333
GPU:
GTS 450 / hd 6770 / hd 5770?
PSU: huntkey 500w
i don't have much to spend and those are my options. any suggestions? with me saving over $100 if i get the i5 where should i spend the money on? GPU or search for a better board?
budget is around $500-$600.
