i3-4130 vs i5-4440

Which one will be better for wow provided something like a GTX 660 to go with it?

ps Think I posted in a long forum, feel free to move pls.

The i3-4130 is about equal to the i5-4440 for WoW, as the 4130 is 3.4ghz with 2 cores 4 threads, and the 4440 is 3.3ghz with 4 cores 4 threads.

HOWEVER

If you're even considering the 4440, that sort of assumes you can afford it, and in that case the i3-4340 @ 3.6ghz would be a better choice, as it would match a 3570K @ 4.0ghz about when it comes to WoW raid performance. I would suggest the 4340. They usually hit around $160.
