Performance wise (gaming) i3 will be better than 960T, but its always better to have something with an OC'ing potential in a gaming RiG. So the configuration suggested by Cilus is the one to go for.

OP has clearly said that he is never gonna OC. So it would be better to go for the i3 config.

^^Overlooked it buddy. Now let OP decide.

thanks for the replies... i'll check prices at Prime AbGb and confirm a config tomorrow...the PC is for a friend who hasn't even heard the term overclocking, which is why i mentioned never.

Then, practically, in your case, OC'ing should be strictly avoided. Not at all recommended for new users.
