i3-4370 vs Phenom 9950 Quad-Core - Microsoft Flight Simulator R9 290X - Game Performance Benchmarks

i3 4370 vs i5-4690KWell im getting a gaming pc but im really stumped on which processor to get. Ive heard that a majority of old rts games (which i will mostly be playing) for example supreme commander, medieval 2 total war, command and conquer generals etc... Use only 1 one core. So i would like to know which processor would be the best for playing rts games and allowing the max number of units with little to no lag?

Those aren't terribly demanding games. I feel confident in saying you will be plenty happy with the i3 for those games.

Will the i3-4370 bottleneck the GTX 970?Just what the title says. I'm considering upgrading my CPU soon and wondering if this will be a decent, budget choice (Micro Center deal makes it cheaper). Here's the CPU on Intel's site.

You can always pick a few select games for any build and say yes the GPU or CPU will be a bottle neck but for overall performance and the price that's a good processor (what 3.8GHz)Although as above I would try to spend a few extra bucks on at least the i5 4570.For a single 1080p monitor the 970 is just killer performance wise.

I3 4370 OR I5 3570k For ITX BuildI am build a small ITX computer, I am going to be using the I5 OEM cooler or similar for cooler.I already own both the I5 3570K and a I3 4370 but, I cant decide which to use for the CPU. I will be using discrete graphics and more than likely the highest-end GPU will be a GTX 750 ti. It is what fits my budget. For RAM it will be 8GBs of DDR3. Hard drive will either be an SSD or SSHD just depending on which is easier to free up. I will be playing games, I mostly play Star Craft 2 or other RTS games, and the occasional Guild Wars 2. I have enough PSU to handle either set up. For Mobo the I5 3570K is a GIGABYTE GA-Z77N-WIFIFor the I3 4370 I have a ASRock H97M-ITXFor the I3 the mobo allows for a larger cooler,

Click the 2nd blue box in my signature to see my i3-4130 750ti system and you can make some judgements there.The i3 won't need a big cooler, the stock cooler will be fine.

i3 4370 or FX-8000 Series?Hi,I'm going to build a new coputer mainly for gaming, web browsing, HD Video and maybe some video rendering (but the last one's not going to be often). So here I am with the decision: Intel or AMD?I know a good amount about computers and components, but I just want the community's opinion:Stronger Intel cores but fewer of them, or more AMD cores that are weaker.Just to say again, I will be mostly gaming (CS:GO, GTA V, Battlefield One, Starwars Battlefront, Firewatch- Mainly open world or FPS games...)I'd like to run these games over 40 FPS at medium-high settings...Here's what my system will be like:So,what's your opinion? I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Ok, knowing now that you already have some of those parts, any 4th gen i3 would be fine for you. I would literally get the cheapest 4th gen i3 and probably a B85 or H97 motherboard.

AMD fx 6300 vs i3 4370I want to upgrade my pc so I can play fallout 4. And from what I have heard that the fx 6300 is not that good So I was wondering if I should get the amd fx 6300 with a gtx 950 or should I get the i3 4370 with the gtx 950? Leave suggestions please my budget is around 125$

Go with the intel option, I am no intel fan boy, but in the future if you wish to upgrade, you have better options with an intel processor.
