Temporary replacement intel

[xAdam]

Hey guys, im building a new pc just bought a zalman z11 pro and a corsair 600w modular powersupply, with an ASRock Z77 - PRO4 on the way and a i5 3570k in the pipeline im running low on funds, so im thinking of pausing the i5 while i get some money together and getting an intel pentium processor to be able to run basic applications on it for now, any reccomendations for a cheap and relitively good CPU? (10-£40) ish.

But that's about it...
on the low end of processors, AMD beats intell on a price per dollar

Well unlike all the other people that failed to realize you have a Z77 board in the mail and suggested AMD chips... I guess I would have to advise the pentium G2020, its a 2.9Ghz Ivy for $65.

Yeah but it costs more. We were just saying CPUs that are actually that cheap.

Dude seriously, go read the OP again. He has an 1155 board in the mail and is looking for a less expensive "intel pentium" CPU for that board for the time being until he can save up more money for the 3570K he actually wants. The CPU is listed is only $65 dollars, an A4 plus a motherboard is going to easily exceed that.

Yea, reading comprehension would go a long way for some. At that price range, you are probably stuck with a dual core 1155 celeron. For a bit more, you could bump up to a Pentium G620 or a G2020 that was mentioned earlier.

Hey guys thanks for the responses, ive found a way to get the cash together thinking of doing a build log aswell, as i quite like reading other peoples. anyone reccomend a website/guide for some cathodes or LEDs , thinking of putting white facing downward underneath the window of my case, so it reflects up
