JustAnEngineer  G3258 now with I5 Broadwell later vs 4670k now
Postposted on Mon Jun 23, 2014 2:25 pm  I'm looking at building
a new system to be used for gaming and other stuff. The res
supported won't be any higher than 1920x1080. My thought is to
get a Pentium G3258 with a Z97 MB (probably the Gigabyte Gaming
3) now and OC the processor. Then some time next year pick up a
Broadwell based I5. The alternative would be to pick up a 4670k
or 4690K now and stick with that for the near future. This would
be married with a Geforce 650TI for the near term (though that
might change when the next gen of video cards are released.)  So
any thoughts on this choice?  My reasoning is that the G3258
when overclocked does very well with current games so it should
be enough to get through to Broadwell. With the 14nm design
there should be at least a 10% boost from the current I5 Haswell
generation to the Broadwell I5 (based on the previous die shrink
results.) Plu
