+i5 3570k + H61 :
_You waste your money on an unlocked CPU , you won't be able to overclock at all
_3rd gen i5 won't work on H61 chipset unless you update the bios for it . Not all H61 have a bios update for this -> 90% risky
_i5 is a quad core , i doubt the PSU would be enough for it

+i5 2500+ H61:
_Ok
_i5 is a quad core , i doubt the PSU would be enough for it
_It still won't run demanding games full speed with LLE -> Waste money

IMO , either stick with the G860 build or save up 700$ for i5 2500k/i5 3570k build

I agree with this.
If you aren't all that good at building a PC, I'd recommend getting something within your means.
Because I5 3570k and 2500k are DESIGNED for people who build their own PCs.
G860 is more designed for Gaming PCs for people who don't care for building their own.

But whatever, its your money.
yeah, im sure i may be able to learn and what not, but got to much going on to learn. so then you guys recommend the g860? would the i3 be a "bad" purchase for me?

There would be almost no gain in performance, so it would be hard to justify.

Be sure to have them build it for you and enjoy Dolphin!
Trust me, that CPU is as fast as some of the older I7s, or an FX4100 set to 5ghz(Without all the heat and power consumption).

Goodnight!Sleepy
yeah ill make sure to have that option selected so they build it Smile. have a wonderful night. and yeah ill love dolphin. cant wait.
