Gaming CPU
What is the best gaming cpu that isn't crazy expensive? I have a GTX970 vid card and an SSD but gonna upgrade the cpu and motherboard. Looking for advice. I had been looking at the I7-6700k and the FX-9590 and the I5-4690K. Thinking the AMD is the best value and all but I keep hearing the intel is the better way to go. Someone let me know what ya think.

Re: Gaming CPU
I'm using an Intel I5 with the same GPU as you - got the fastest pre-Skylake version a few months back. The I7s are overkill for gaming. Much as I love supporting an underdog, I couldn't justify an AMD.

Turbo buttons were so dumb, it's like who wouldn't leave it on? lol.Polokid69 wrote:I'm using a 286SX with turbo button with MMX
But then I started to remember some games Ran too fast with the turbo button on so you had to use it to slow it down to be playable lol.

Re: Gaming CPU
Hot dang, 32 GB RAM? Do you do some heavy productivity work on top of gaming? That's a ton.

Re: Gaming CPU
I would like to say I have had time to test it all out and even before any OC everything works above my expectations. This should hold me for another 10 years lol.

Re: Gaming CPU
I don't play as much as I would love to, that's for sure. When I'm playing something multiplayer, I'm playing Dirty Bomb. FPS, free to play, kinda old school
