i3 vs i5 for budget gaming build?

LordPablo · 23 Oct 2015 at 12:02

Should I look at an i3 (with a better GPU) or an i5 (with an OK GPU) for a budget gaming build?

Looking at playing BF4, Battlefront, GTA, Witcher etc

Whilst I don't game a ton at home currently (I used to, and now get my BF4 fix at work) I think it will be classed as doing more than light gaming for sure.

Think I'll look at the i5 then

Now I just need to try and get the totla build price down as much as I can haha.

Thanks for the help folks

I'm not in a position to buy just yet, so I'm sure I'll come back when I am to ask more daft questions!

colour me intrigued...is this even allowed?

Well, on my lunch I play BF4. I work for a software development company (we actually do a ton of "creative" digital stuff including VR, AR, art, apps etc etc) and most of us plays games at lunch. We have our own Minecraft server running and used to play a lot of Killing Floor co-op
