How is the g3220 compared to i3 4130?

 

[MGeaR356]

Ah thanks for sharing bro.. Yeah in future, my old ssd will be going there.. So b85 then

Actually I prefer Asus more.. Can recommend their b85 matx mobo?

Erm their price more premium and for same features wor, you prepared to pay?

The igpu on 4130 slightly better, got hyper threading and clocked higher abit lo. In gaming not that much diff ba..

ah then nvm.. lol msi ba.. their capacitors also good one right? I want long lasting one..

H81 will do, with 2 ports being SATA 6 Gbps and 2 USB 3.0 ports. Anything more will be superfluous.

Certain H81 boards do offer additional USB 3.0 ports in the form of header provided by 3rd-party controllers so these boards will relegate higher end chipset boards recommendations for more critical users.

Igpu is more for on board? So if I got 460gtx it doesn't really matter right?

 

[hengheng220]

eh bro psps about my statement about not getting h81 chipset cause i just realise i wrote with lots of error on my previous statement lol. PSPS was too sleepy. Btw if you want h81 can get cause is essentially the same as b85 but got lesser usb 3.0 slots and sata slot 6.0gb slots. hence i would recommend the h81m-hds board psps.

yepp doesnt matters, its up to you, but if i were you i would pay the premium to go i3 cause of the hyper threading. If i never remember wrongly games like BF4 can acutally make use of the hyperthreading to perform better, and maybe new titles might follow suit. If you are sticking to D3 its fine but if you want to play new titles i think i3 is more suited, though I5 will be the most recommend for gaming.

bro thanks a lot for the help!

anyways, how about AMD + mobo? Are they still offering any best bang for buck combo?

I would say do reconsider Intel cause you can try compare their prices, they are quite similar in Singapore but only in other countries you might save abit more.

ah thanks..one last question

the stock hsf for g3220 or i3 4130, are they good enough? need after market ones?

Yepp good enough. 2 reason why people go for aftermarket ones:
1. They think stock is ugly
2. They going for slight overclocking of cpu hence need a better cooling system
if you have none of these issue then the stock one is good to go
