Im building an i5 PC, it was going to be an i7 but the budget i have to work with wont be enough to spend on an i7.
I noticed the i5 has Socket LGA1156, is this going to be much less future proof than the 1366? Seems the 1156 socket is just for i5.
The computer will most likely have a 460 and 6 gig of RAM.
Not got a clue about AMD so thats the only reason i have not thought of making such a build.
Budget for the MB is about £80. RAM seems to be about £150 (could do with being cheaper) as does the GPU.
They will be wanting to play games on this computer, such as Guild Wars 2 and the like.
I was all set with what i wanted to buy when it was i7 but now it will be i5 im a bit stuck.
