Ok....considering my old thread of building a Rig for 50-60k, i did a start from my busy office schedule.
Bought this Mobo

P7H57D-V EVO
Intel LGA1156 Platform / Intel® H57 Express Chipset

Now which proccy to go for?

I saw it supports
Pentium G6950
i3, i5 & i7 processors...
am really confused as to which one to opt for!?

Sole purpose is gaming.
Thanks,

first of all why did you buy asus?
secondly you have not mentioned your budget although it will be better if you get i5 760 @ 10k.

Budget for the processor?
And only gaming?
If gaming is primary task, anything second in line?

Budget is not a big constraint as i'm looking for intense gaming, for me performance matters, dont wanna settle for something by compromising on price.
Blur, Split Second, kane & lynch 2 and so on are my genre.

core i7 875k @ 16.5k as budget is not a constraint

then as cybertonic mentioned i7 875k is a beast.

Thanks for the heads up guys

If you were ready to spend that much, you should have got a X6 1055T or some X58 setup imho.
If you want something VFM for that mobo, do take a look at the i5 760 too.

edit: Thank you for pointing out the mistake. Corrected. :smile:

^^its i5 760..!
