Thoughts on CPU choice

[Minibiker]

Evening all

Doing a new build for gaming, just want to know your opinions on my choices of CPU's

Either i3 7100 or i5 4690k

I am looking at spending roughly £200 not much more, what's best to look for with used CPU's

I know that the K models can be OC but I noticed the 7100 puts out 3.9ghz out the box

Thoughts please

Thanks for the replies, So I'll scrap the 7100, I have seen an older 3570k will that be alright for the job or is that to dated now

Yeah i was thinking about £200 for just CPU, i could wait for a few weeks no rush to get it, so may see what happens when Ryzen appears

I've seen a few i7 CPU's around used but for under £200 what should I look out for with used ones

Would depend on what you have and what budget you have for the rest of the build.

well i will be spending around £1000 by the time ive got the parts i reckon, ive not got the money to buy it all in one hit though

Will the i7 4770k fit the same socket type as the 3570

If i dont OC straight away what cpu would be ideal to tie me over until i get a k model
