My trusted old 5850 isn't up to the task anymore, so I need an upgrade.

I've more or less decided on a Radeon 7970, but I'm unsure about mobo and CPU.

CoH2 is easily the biggest resource hog among the few games I play, and since I'm not going to buy more than one GPU, I will be GPU bound in any case, so I'm wondering whether the I3-3240 would be sufficient for my needs or if I should go for the I5-3570; there's ~150USD difference here in Denmark.

Which mobo would you recommend for either, considering that I probably won't bother with OC?


Just in case u were still looking the new ati r7/R9 Series is out!

i3's are not sufficient for gaming at all. i5's are great though.

Might as well go Haswell since Ivy Bridge is no longer the latest and greatest.

Motherboard is more of a user preference but I stick with Asus.

false. games that aren't cpu extensive like battlefield 3 runs great. also you can play Runescape.
