I'm looking to build a gaming PC, and I'm wondering what a good budget CPU for a budget gaming PC is. I want to get a good GPU (thinking a 660 ti?) so I would like to save a bit on the CPU and other components.
I'm currently looking at this Intel Core i3: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i33225
And this Pentium G870: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80623g870
Would the Pentium reduce the performance of a card like the 660 ti? Or would I be good to go?
I have thought about AMD, but if possible I'd like to stick with Intel, but I'm open to AMD suggestions if they would save even more money but still offer decent performance.
