Hi, what processor recommended?

[CzechosDrama]

I wanted to make a custom PC build but I wanted to ask you what processor recommended. My search on wallapop is Intel Core i5, but which version recommended? Link to my search

@CzechosDrama,

When looking for anything you want to purchase, build, repair, install, or uninstall. Always do research yourself as that will get you the best results. Luckily, Google has all the information you need for free to do this research, not to mention pricing and availability. Google is your friend.

Thank you!

If I was to do a PC build though. In regards to a processor I would go with the Intel i7. It's really fast and reliable.

Thank you!

But you are building a pc for office or a gaming pc? this is very relevant

Thanks for your recomendation, gotta check on wallapop to see a low cost and good i7 proccesor.

If it's not too late, here's some important things to know:

1. The biggest mistake people make is that they always classify processors by i3, 5, 7 and 9. Don't do this. Each processor is different based on its generation. For example, the 12th gen October 2021) i5-12600K is much faster than the 11th gen i9-11900K (March 2021), even though the number is lower.

2. There are always two types of i5 CPUs in each generation:
- i5-#400
- i5-#600
Where # is the generation number.
i5 600 CPUs are better than i5 400 CPUs but are more expensive.

3. Intel has different letters at the end of some CPUs, the main ones to know are:

K - This means that the chip is unlocked, meaning you can overclock it without voiding warranty. For any processor that is 12th gen or newer, it also means they get extra cores.

F - No integrated graphics. If you get a CPU ending with F (e.g: 12400F, 11600KF), your PC will not work unless you brought a separate graphics card (which you probably will). As a return, F CPUs are cheaper than the non-F versions.

On top of all that, i7 and i9 are still options depending on the generation.

It all depends on your budget and what you need from your PC.

I know that seemed way too complicated, so let me help you pick a CPU. Just tell me your budget and what you want your PC for.

My budget is 30€-80€ and I want my pc for gaming, surfing the internet and testing VMs (maybe).

 

[A3RNAV]

What exactly is your full budget (like for everything)? I would personally recommend spending a bigger part of your budget towards your CPU. Ideally you would want a 6-core CPU, but the best thing I can find under 80 is an Intel i3-10100F from 2019 on sale.

I would go with a AMD Ryzen CPU, they come with built in Vega graphics that perform really well in gaming, meaning, you won't have to buy a graphics card, if you go with an Intel CPU, you will have to buy a graphics card. AMD is a real cost saver because they are cheaper than Intel and come with excellent built in graphics.

 

[A3RNAV]

That's actually true. The integrated graphics are really good, and you can easily get a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen 3 or 5 for a good price now. If you ever need to upgrade your GPU down the line the older RX series is also dropping in price

 

[SyCoREAPER]

13th Gen i5 or i7 if you've got a broader budget. i9 isn't worth it the money.

Ryzen are decent, I've got one, but the Intel 13th Gen outperforms them this round.
