Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote:It is a bit of overkill - I opted for an i3-3220 in my gaming box, and the bottleneck is the graphics card and RAM. Too much is better than not enough, though.
Graphics cards are well behind CPU's. I remember seeing some video where a guy had his 780ti maxed out and the i5 4670k was running under 50%. I'm surprised the RAM is an issue with 16gig. Is it the speed of it that's the issue?
Mostly I'm going for the i5 because of how much I've hated my AMD 6200. It's not awful but whenever I play anything processor heavy I have a nightmare. I'd like to have something I know is more than enough. Plus the idea of overclocking it sounds like fun to me.
