it will be good for gaming as it's a quad core cpu but the main catch is availability and the price - just look at the current FM2 cpus available in here - you'll get the idea.
Just saw that the Athlon II X4 750k does not have L3 cache which is like really important for gaming.
Should i still go for it or stick to a Pentium G645??
And why do Pentiums have only 1033 Mhz RAM support??
do you have any relatives abroad who can source the CPu and a a75 motherboard - then go for 750k but you won't get warranty for those in here.
getting the pieces from abroad will causse overshooting of the ops budget (customs,taxes etc) and also their will be a warranty problem for components not available in india
so it is advsable to either go with intel i3 +hd 6670 or wait for trinity
That is not a possible option.I guess G645 and (which)GPU is my best bet.
what's wrong with the core i3 cpus around ~6.5-7k ( look on previous page ) - they are better suited for the gpu you are getting and the 160GB HDD - is it Sata or IDE ? if Sata it can be re-used and there's no need to get a new one now
if it's Sata then tell your friend to skip buying HDD for now and reconsider the suggestion on post no.13.
