I am building a few computers for my friends and I like to post them here before I they actually buy it. This one is for my friend who wants one mainly for when Star Citizen comes out, but will also be playing Battlefield 4 and other games like Assassin's Creed. I have a few parts from my computer that I upgraded, so I was going to sell them to him so he could save a little money. I used to have an i5-4570s. I know that i5's are fine for gaming, but does the "S" limit the cpu's power too much? If so, I think I will have him go with an FX-8350.

i5-4570s
msi z87-G41
GTX 970
Gskill RIpjaws 12GB (3x4gb)
Western Digital 1TB
Corsair Force LS series 60GB SSD
Corsair TX650W PSU
Corsair Carbide 300R
 
the i5 is for sure better than the 8350, the 8350 overclocks well but even then i think it will be of matched performance to the stock i5 4570s.

personally id put another what £30-£40 in and get the i5 4690k for the build. that way it can be overclocked if needed and is a very good performing cpu.
