On a good build, 4.5-4.6 is pretty common on FX 6300, 4.7-4.8 fairly common on FX 6350. Here's an example of a very demanding game on an OCd FX 6350 with a GTX 970: Model: Intel Core i5 4400 Base Frequency 3.30 GHz Up to 3.50 GHz. Saving some on the CPU allows you to get a much better GPU, which is far more important to your gaming experience. Brand : INTEL capacity : core i5 4th gen. Intel is a little faster in games, but not worth the price hike IMO. Overall you're looking at a 3-5% performance difference for a 50-100% cost premium. But these will run neck in neck with an i5 4690k, stock and/or overclocked on both CPUs. They are so close it won't matter.įX 6300 stock runs most games like an i5 4440įX 6300 or 6350 overclocked can push a GTX 970 or 980 very wellįX 8320 or 8350 will need better cooling and a stronger VRM on the motherboard. And in older games BOTH AMD and Intel will give you well over 60 FPS on a good GPU.
Locked Intel with an H series motherboard is good for budget. No Overclocking and expecting a future proof PC. If Intel, is it ok to settle for B85 or go for H97 not considering the additional I/O and other ports? Will AMD FX 8320 or 8350 be a equally Good option for current and future games considering multithreading?
What will be the Best i5 processor for Gaming with GTX 960 (ASUS Strix DC2OC-2GD5) among 4440, 4570, 4590, 46?
