Hello I'm looking to upgrade my ageing core 2 duo e7200 and Intel DG43RK motherboard, that keeps giving me bluescreens out of nowhere. I'm not quite sure on whether to go for AMD or Intel. My maximum budget is £130 just FYI.
I had thought about a pentium g3258 and an ASrock H97M board, but as I plan to upgrade to a core i5 when broadwell is released should I drop the pentium to a celeron to save a bit of money? I plan on only doing light gaming (csgo mainly) until I finish my GCSEs, and then upgrading to an i5 plus a GTX 960.
I could of course go for an AMD Athlon 860K but I am worried about the upgrade path that might entail, as an i5 (in my mind) would keep me going a for a good 5 years.
Any input into this situation will be appreciated
