I'm looking at building a new system to be used for gaming and other stuff. The res supported won't be any higher than 1920x1080. My thought is to get a Pentium G3258 with a Z97 MB (probably the Gigabyte Gaming 3) now and OC the processor. Then some time next year pick up a Broadwell based I5. The alternative would be to pick up a 4670k or 4690K now and stick with that for the near future.
This would be married with a Geforce 650TI for the near term (though that might change when the next gen of video cards are released.)
So any thoughts on this choice?
My reasoning is that the G3258 when overclocked does very well with current games so it should be enough to get through to Broadwell. With the 14nm design there should be at least a 10% boost from the current I5 Haswell generation to the Broadwell I5 (based on the previous die shrink results.) Plus there may be other boosts that come from Broadwell, and the new CPU generation is supposed to be compatible with Z97 based motherboards.
