first new intel build for less than $700

[Asianperson]

Guys I've been deciding if either i5 4430 + gtx 650 or i3 4130 + gtx 650 ti boost
Other components are the same even the mobo and such just gpu and cpu.
Which one should I pick or give me a better option, amd is ok-ish
No os, peripherals and monitor needed

The GPU is a much more deciding factor for gaming, an i3 isn't ideal, but it will hold you back much less than a lower end GPU.

What do you mean?

Is gaming what it's intended for? The GPU handles most of what the game is doing, so you can either have an i5 with a 650 where the cpu is running at 20% while gaming and giving you 40 fps on high settings, or an i3 running at 40% and a 650 ti getting you 50 fps on high. A faster cpu doesn't benefit you nearly as much because the cpu isn't being fully utilized anyway, while the gpu is usually getting a workout if you're using it to it's potential.

If this is a general use PC, i'd go with the i5 because it will keep your computer running well threaded applications very well for longer than the i3.

It is for gaming. So you are telling me to get i3+ gtx 650 ti boost over i5 + gtx 650 right?

Yes, for gaming that will do better
