What’s the Best Budget CPU for Gaming?

Just get an old xeon for like $25 and throw it in an aftermarket motherboard

It’s 30 bucks 😂😂😂

I got a Ryzen 5 1600X for $25, is that a good deal and if so what GPU should I get. My budget for it is up to $150 but I would prefer to spend less.

Is i7 12700k or i5 13th gen is better for rtx 3080?

What gpu should I pair with i5 12400f.

Is the 5800x a budget cpu??

I5-2500k 💀

is it worth to go from a i5-9400f to a i3 13100f?

What about the i7 4790k?

in Canada, its a 30$ CAD difference on amazon. So, no thanks

Best cpu for rx 580 16g of ram for Fortnite

In my conty cost 130e

I found a core i7 1700 for like 120$. Since I was an idiot a while ago and got an rx6500, I needed something that supported PCIe 4.0 to get the most out it. Before I had the i7 I had an i3 10100f(didn’t support pcie 4.0). My motherboard was compatible with the i7 so it was the best choice for me. If I was to get an i3 12100 or 13100, I would have needed to buy a new motherboard and gpu because the 6500 would have bottlenecked the new cpu.

When I’m doing a budget build I always use Ryzen cpus because AM4 socket motherboards (b550) are always way cheaper than LGA 1200/1700 socket motherboard

Goes back up to $150 after posting

5600 is perfect. You really dont need more for 1080p

What specs do you recommend for a 300$ secondary gaming pc with an AMD GPU and CPU

Yeah is great light gaming but Amd ryzen little better on cost a little bit more options especially they are sometimes sales on those a bit more than Intel I do like in pass but it does happen a lot of bottlenecks

Got my i3 1300f for $67 after tax! 😄

have an rx 6650 xt... is the intel i 5 12400f or the r 5 5600 better?

Update: Price difference grew wider, 13100f costs $115 and the 12100f costs $95

this is the reason for i7 13700f

I have good budget pc 13700k with 4080 not too expensive 😂😂😂it is just 1800$ ish

best cpu for rx 580 8gb ????

Ryzen 5600: i am 2 times better than these noobs for 100$ ! Where am i?!

I3 13100F is better than r5 5600?

but would it be good for streaming on minecraft??

My i5 4460 still running to this date (cause Im broke)

In poland this is a 3/4 of 12100f price differenc

If you are looking for a cooler for these budget cpus, I would highly recommend choosing a cpu cooler from deepcool. The one I have is a AG400 plus(60 dollars NZD), it has two 120mm fans, and works great for cpus with a max clock speed of under 4.5ghz under load. With my cpu under full load at 4.2 ghz and and embarrassingly badly ventilated case I average about 55-65 degrees. Plus, if you can only fit on fan on the heat sink due to motherboard constraints, you can easily move the fans up and down the heat sink with little cooling loss or even use it as a case fan that you can properly attach. You can even buy the cpu cooler just to use the fans as cheap high rpm and quiet case fans.

Be aware that the f means no integrated graphics. So you rely on gpu for your monitor connection. This can be a pain in the butt if you need to update gpu drivers or reinstall drivers because of an update problem. So you’ll probably need a backup gpu just to deal with your drivers. If your set on the i3 just spend the extra $10 or so on the non f model

Ryzen 5 5500

12th gen offers better upgrade ability

Me : Using Intel 4004

will a gtx 1660 be good with an 12100f

im thinking of buying the 13100f since its so cheap and it has a good price to performance ratio. and it ranks very good on the userbenchmark. I right now have gtx 1060 6gb with an i5 8400. Should I upgrade my gpu and cpu? if so what should I upgrade it/them to?

If the R5 5500 supported DDR4 at higher speeds I’d say it’s the budget champ 😊

Bro in my country i3 12100f is 100 dollars and i3 13100f is 140

I really need some Canadian content

In India i3 10100f price is 6499rs, 78.58 usd
I3 12100f price is 9300rs, usd 112.44
In Amazon

I imagine the i5 14600 will have 8 cores while the i3 will have 6 cores. And thus an additional price tag.

My A-8 5600k from 2011 😢

In my country the difference is $90😬
