(in my country both have the same price) 3570k. You'll also need a z77 motherboard. On stock cooling you should hit about 3.8 ghz, which should be fine for most games. 07-13-2012, 05:38 PM
Yeah, but the Last Story, Super Mario Galaxy etc. need an overclocked i5-3750k/2500k, especially The Last Story. If you want to play very demanding games, i recommend to buy a good aftermarket CPU cooler and a decent thermal compound. Then, overlock the i5 to about 4.2GHz.
You'll see, the games will run very well
Already debated here if it can help you http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/showthread.php?tid=23995
And if you got budget do like me and go for 3570K (not 100% decided though )

Depends on the game.
But if you overlock the CPU to 4.2/4.3 GHz, you should be able to play nearly all games very well. 07-14-2012, 02:01 AM
Definitely not.
You will need a aftermarket CPU cooler (e.g. Thermalright HR-02 Macho) and a aftermarket thermal compound (e.g. Arctic Cooling MX-4) 07-14-2012, 02:15 AM
