Need help picking the right cpu for a custom computer I'm building

[ThomasMaltby]

Hello,
I'm building a custom pc and don't really know what CPU is best. I want an intel core series but I don't really know which one. I will be playing games but not much and I will be multi tasking a lot. But no multitasking and gaming at the same time. I also want to be able toultitask and still have everything run fast. So wants the best INTEL cpu for my needs. Oh and cheapest. Proffer ably under $200 Australian dollars round about $210 USD

Go with an I5, 3350P would most likely be in your price range. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html

Or an i5-3470.

Well i would say the fx 8350 But since you want intel get the 3570k...its only a bit more than $210 but its worth it i got the i7 3820

Ok thanks guys. This really helps. But I think I will get the i5 3470
