Hi chronos, serious login problems today never experienced this before,

Anyway,budget about £150,the gtx 660 2mb cheapest i found was msi £142.50,cheapest i5 processor 3350p at £138

I would have reasoned it was the gpu but after looking at the you tube demos it made me think its the cpu plus my sons sony laptop has an i5 processor with a radeon 6 series graphics card and he can play payday2 on medium settings easily,albeit at resolution of 1366x768

Thanks you know better than me so i will do that at end of this month,then in a few months upgrade the cpu

can i ask what do you think about the i5 3350p seems its cheaper than other i5s because it has no inbuilt graphics,would i see a significant jump in overall pc performance ?

thanks i may actually skip that upgrade i had read the i3 was much slower than the i5 due to the number of cores,a magazine ive always bought PC format advocates the i5 as the best processor in terms of value and performance

Thanks again

Ive bought that magazine since its inception the content has diminished somewhat and the last 4 issues were staple bound unlike previous issues,sign of the times lower readership,cost saving measures
