My total budget is around 650 for the tower without the os. Case has already been purchased.
I need an average motherboard for either an i5 3450 or an i3 2120. Preferably under 100$.
Heres what i'm choosing between.
ASRock B75 PRO3 - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157314
with the i5 3450
OR
MSI Z77A-G45 - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130645
with the i3 2120
The rest of the system is :
Antec 550w modular PSU
WD HD 7200rmp SATA 6gb/s 250gb
Mushkin Blackline 8gb DDR3 1600 RAM
HIS turbo x 6850
Zalman Z9 Plus Case
The i3 build is cheaper by about 70$ Canadian, so would the jump to an i5 be worth the 70$?
Or I could pair the i3 with the cheaper Asrock and save even more?
