alright well i already bought my mobo when it was on sale, msi gd65, my original plan was a i5 750 oc'ed to around 3.5 on air. im not doing any rendering just gaming.
since you can get to 4ghz on an i3 easily would you go with that or an i5 @ 3.5?
im not trying to o;c the hell outta anything and have the cpu for a few less years just a solid middle o'c that wont really effect the life of the cpu
So for the revised question, would i notice a difference that is worth 70$ with a quad or save the $ and go with dual?
Depends on the person. I love playing with new tech which is why i went with the clarkdale's. The 750 is better but the 530 is only 124 dollars
well for your personal opinion would say the 750 is worth $70 more?
I'm right there with the rest of you computer junkies, I just can't say "no". I do know that I'll never go back to dual core cpu again.
Yeah for gaming your really don't NEED 4 cores, but it can be beneficial! If you have the cash go for it and get the 750, if not the i3 will do a outstanding job for you.
You won't be disappointed either way
