Hi,
I'd like to play games on high quality for about 3 years and I want to know if a Gigabyte R7950 Windforce 3X in combination with a i5 3470 is future-proof. Or should I save up for a 2500K/3570K with a decent cooler? The thing is, right now I have a crappy laptop of 2008 that isn't capable of playing anything well (skyrim lowest settings with an average of 25 fps... permission to laugh your *ss off granted ) and saving for a 2500K or 3570K + cooler would take me another 2 months or so... (price difference of around €60). If the graphics card is not the best available, that's not that bad. I could always upgrade it in a year or two.
I've been saving for a PC for over a year now and I really don't want to wait a lot longer, as you can imagine... I'm letting my PC built for me somewhere in January.
Thanks for your help in advance!
