I am building a tiny PC for a friend. He pretty much ONLY plays Dota 2 and wants to get a 144Hz monitor to play it on after trying mine.
A GTX 760 is adequate for this and I already have all the parts selected out but the CPU is the final component.
An AMD CPU is not an option as there are no Mini-ITX AM3+ motherboards in New Zealand.
Currently I am set on an Intel Pentium G3220.
Is this the same as an i3 but without hyperthreading?
An i3 costs twice as much as this CPU but will it do anything?
Will this Pentium bottleneck a GTX 760 in Dota 2 getting 144FPS?
Please answer with an educated explanation rather than "pentium too slow for gtx 760". Only want to play Dota 2 at 144FPS.
