    You can't purchase it yet. Only Pre-Order, I Pre-Ordered at Amazon.de for 19,95€ a while ago

      By purchase, I assumed everyone knew I meant "preorder".

      I have a 25% off GMG coupon I'm probably going to use.

Well just about all new PC games are asking for i7's for recommended requirements because why? Because they have 8 threads that can be used as "cores" ..

        By the way..in no way am i saying a i5 3570k cannot do the job...these newer intel cpu's are so ahead of their time, at least for gaming that you will still probably do ok with a i5...but you are better off with a i7 if you are looking at high performance settings for your PC games!

          Keep in mind these new consoles aim to provide concurrent services while you game other than just gaming, which is where extra threads may be of use. It's still going to be safer to build games for 4 threads max. For pure gaming, 8 is still overkill in the vast majority of cases. I think Crysis 3 may have had some minor benefits.

          Also, I have my doubts any of the PS4/XO games being ported to PC will be on the level of Crysis 3, any time soon - the other specs of these consoles will limit the games so they're unlikely to benefit from more than 4 threads on a gaming PC (when you consider something like a i5-4690 already has more grunt than these consoles, and can probably more than match any console game using more than 4 threads anyway). There may be an edge case game where a multi-threaded CPU is far more important than GPU due to the sheer amount of active CPU threads needed and so it can be released on the consoles to use more than 4 threads but not need a better GPU, but I'm not sure what type of game that would be (something very AI heavy?).

          If you're going to buy 8 threads for gaming, I'd look towards PC exclusives or at least PC first games like Crysis 3 as the motivation. There won't be many necessarily, but there will probably be a handful by the time an i7 is redundant. A good i5 will still handle these games fine - the likelihood of a PC game coming out that requires >4 threads to perform well is unlikely within the lifespan of existing hardware - but if you're looking for top line performance, an i7 would be better for those types of games.

                        Sorry, but you DID waste your money. A i5 with perfectly play 2K15 on Ultra/1440p/60fps - even a i3 should do the job. System requirements are f ucking bulls hit, sometimes the minimum requirements are higher than the Recommended, because they are made by people who probably never build a PC themselves. A i7 in system requirements just means (a 4 core CPU with ~3GHz).
                        Look at the Ryse: Son of Rome Requirements - they are made by someone who has a clue about hardware. Thats more what you can expect.

                            I suggest you wait to see what happens with those rumors of new GPUs being released this month, it could lower the price of anything you're looking at now and save you some cash.

                              NVIDIA or AMD?

                              GTX 760 and I think AMD 7870 are priced around that range. Sorry if thats not much of a help but I just googled best 250 dollar gpu's. I would read up on other forums for other opinions about those cards to help you choose which suits you. More opinions the better I say...good luck

                                Jbulls and Goff are both right just wait until the 1st-5th of Oct and if no new gfx cards have been released go with a 760 or a R9280/280x, 2gb of video ram is fine but but look for one of these cards with about 3-4gigs.
