Something that can run games and has Eight cores

[Ironikk]

Right, i was on here the other day and someone built me a build that could run game's!!

But i wan't i want an Eight-core don't no why they seem pretty cool..

My budget is £800 can go over just a little but not too much!

It's got to run latest game's such as MW3 Minecraft Runescape BO2 ect...

You really don't need an 8-core CPU for gaming, most of the cores wont be used at all.
Some games currently use 2 cores, not sure if there are any that use more than that.

It was an example on what kind of game's i want to be playing and live streaming..

And i thought the more core's the more power and the more power the better the live stream is..

You do not need an 8 core especially with the games you will be playing, i run bf3 at maximum settings and it just about stresses 4 cores, if you want to be on the safe side get an AMD 6 core to allow for video encoding but the games you suggested there are some of the least demanding games around

This should more than fast enough for your needs and has some future proof for you.

you can alter the config here if your not happy

Games focused on processing rather than graphics will use more cores.

e.g: Football Manager will use all the cores you can throw at it.

Bugger all else apart from that.
