I3 4130 or Pentium 4320

[Deleted]

Hi all,

i plan on buying this build http://www.qcomp.sk/shopping/zostava.php?id=6326 (sorry for language, but parts are in english mostly)

Is i3 worth extra 50 Euros? Or should I buy a Pentium and save for powerful i5 later?

Thank you all.

Depends on the games you play. MMO's rarely make use of more than two cores, but if you play games like BF4 you would get use out of the hyperthreading from the i3. That said 50 euros difference is a lot, id go with the pentium and snag an i5 later.

Mainly WoW, LoL, D3, some RTS....no FPS.

The i5 will barely be any better than the i3, unless it's a 4670K. So either go with the i3 now (It's decently faster), or get the Pentium G3420 and a Z87 board (with the intent to get a 4670K and overclock down the road)

Save your money and grab the pentium, clock for clock its pretty much the same as an i3 and those games you listed do not demand more than 2 cores. Only games that truly take advantage of more than 2 cores currently are bf4 and crysis 3, and possibly a handful of other games.

I agree with chazus, go with the pentium and a z87 board now, then save up later for a 4670k.
