Go with the Celeron of those two, but don't expect to play BF3 well at all with either. if you're building a PC (in which case I will move this topic to the PC Building section), get this CPU instead.

It's the best gaming CPU at its price point.

as far as I know the G550 is faster but neither of those will play battlefield 3 without a dedicated graphics card.

im getting an AMD Raedon HD 6450 Graphics card to play BF3, which is ok??


Also Thanks or the advice guys, i really appreciate it

No, that card is not intended to do anything more than output video for day-to-day tasks. If you have a console, stick with that instead of building (which I assume you're doing at this point) this cheap.

Are you willing to build the PC yourself? Do you have an Xbox or PS3 you could play on?

no i dont know how to build a pc, im only 13


i have an Xbox 360 but i wanna get a PC for web browsing and playing minecraft ect... i was only asking about bf3 because i know its one of the best games with graphics from what i know anyway.

That card will struggle even with Minecraft. My suggestion is that you stick with console for all gaming and save up if you really want to game on PC. PC building is something I cannot recommend enough if you're on a tight budget like this!

And you joined when you were 11?

I hope thats a joke lol!

Anyway, like r00t said about the console, Keep playing on your console and save money at the same time i.e. do jobs around house, paper round ect... so you can work to getting a bigger budget. Plus if you save money you can buy the parts you need as soon as you get the money for whatever it is but make sure you know what you are getting and take note of prices and wether you need a monitor, keyboard and mouse ect...
