| Skidmore said: So after all I read, what you all suggest is for me to go with an I5-4690K and a Radeon 280x or 285 with a PSU of ~500 to 550W(more if I would opt to upgrade to dual card in the future) That old story about AMD GPU works better with AMD CPU is bullshit? |
Yeah, that story is not true.
I would get the cheapest i5 (mine is i5-3330) I could find. The extra GHz doesn't have much effect on FPS to justify the price difference (at least here in my country). The savings could go to a better GPU or something else. Generally, in gaming, you can get any good CPU you know that won't bootleneck.
You can see how a i5-3470 performs almost the same of the pricier i7-3770k on a super demanding game like Crysis 3.
