Intel core i3 4150 & gtx 760 vs Intel core i5 4960 & r9 270x
Hey guys, i'm planning to buy a new gaming PC and i was wondering which one of these 2 configurations would work better.

I will be plaiyng most of the time games like Day z, Arma 3 as well as some MMO's, i would like to do some editing and rendering too, but nothing really hardcore.

I know i might get more frames on the gtx 760 build but what about the drops? I'm afraid the i3 won't be capable of drawing consistent fps like the i5 does and also the fact that it's 2 core processor phisically makes me wonder if sacrificing some graphic card power is worth it for future aplications that require more cores...

The i3 might be a bottleneck for the GTX 760.
I have a i5-2300 and a 270X, it runs perfectly smooth for gaming on mid-high settings, so the GPU is good with an i5.

I would suggest the i5 and 270x
