[Q] 3570k or 3350p?

[mercinator16]

Hello, I have run into a predicament, I have $350 to spend on a new processor and I wanna get a 3570k, I also really wanna get a 7850 but won't have enough, unless I get the 3350p, which would be better for me in the long run? Just settle with the 3570k and wait till I have enough, or is the 3350p good enough for games such as battlefield 3 with a 7850?

Do you plan on overclocking? If not then get the 3350P. Also, what is your current GPU and resolution you play at?

I don't have one at the moment but plan on getting a 7850, my monitors native resolution is 1440x900

No I don't have any experience with it and don't wanna take the chance of F'n things up

Then a 3350P is your best bet. A 7850 should last awhile @ 1440X900. Go for it
