That ' s some of what I have seen in a few forums , that a i 7 is like having Nutella for this new AAA games that came out and really , the idea of having 8 cores for whatever the heck you want is pretty nice but at the end it would be like having a ferrari and only driving it at 5 miles per hour . So I can see the point in going for a i 5 , I ' ve seen some good ones at Amazon and other stores and that was mostly my first choice but since there are variations I don ' t know if I should spend a bit more for like a 5 % upgrade in between processors and if should grab it unlocked for over clocking . The real problem is that I HAVE to build a pc from 0 , this one doesn ' t have space for anything I had to do some . cutting to fit the 210 which I grabbed for like 10 dollars xD . I have problems with picking a motherboard and a case and cooling system , should I go for liquid or only fans . Right now I have like 5 different pc ' s with variations . Well , I think I will try and fit a gtx 980 or like you said , grab a 1050 used and just out of curiosity , what do you have on your current pc ? , does it have a good temperature even with heavy load ? . Like other people said , I am looking into forums and researching and all that . The info is there for me to use , but I like to have more and more opinions on how does a AMD perform in difference to a Intel and stuff like that . and since you have so many years of experience I really would love to know what you think of different GPUs , motherboards and even fans . Like all things , if you find it bothering to answer me because it cost you time or whatever , I ' ll stop asking 😀
