Salam.someone here at pg wants to sell core i5 2400 for 12000.i intend to buy it but i have few questions.will i be able to play games at 1080p with this cpu.although my current gpu gtx 550ti may not be able to run games at 1080p with high graphics settings but i will buy high end gpu in near future so will core i5 2400 be enough for high end gpu?2nd question are there any draw backs of buying cheap motherboard like intel dh61ww except i ll be unable to overclock?

Yes, i5 2400 should be able to handle any game right now, and it won't bottleneck a high-end GPU.
As for the motherboard, I never recommend Intel. ASUS, Gigabyte and Asrock are the brands you should consider. Asrock motherboards are available around the same price, and they would be a much better buy compared to the Intel boards.


On a side note: If I were you, I would look for a used i5 3570, i5 4570 or an i5 4670. Obviously they will cost a bit more (around 2-3K more, depending on the seller :p) than the i5 2400 but imo the performance is worth the minimal price difference. You'll get around 3-5 FPS increase (or even more depending on the game) in almost every game you'll play...But again it's your choice and your money :p.

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
