Top-end machines will use cards like the GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, Vega64 or Vega56 that cost from $400 to $800, sometimes even multiple, to push enough frames for that high-end 144 Hz display with a variable refresh rate. When building a gaming PC, the majority of the focus is on the graphics card: when all other components are sufficient, and the resolutions are high, the graphics card is often the limiting factor. What makes the Core i3-8100 a good consideration here is that it is rated at a nice and high 3.6 GHz at 65W no matter what – whatever the workload, users are guaranteed both the frequency and the power consumption with no extraneous promises.įor a consistent high performance, the i3-8100 is a tough nut to crack, although a discrete GPU is required for all but the most basic tasks. So why choose it at all? Part of Intel’s latest 8 th generation line relies on turbo frequencies: when Intel says a processor has a low base frequency but offers a high single-core turbo at 65W, that means that only the low base frequency is guaranteed at 65W. This processor is another quad-core chip, sitting a bit higher than the AMD at $117 and slightly worse integrated graphics.

Technically we've only chosen this processor for the lowest cost build, however it makes a more-than-appropriate choice for any PC up to $1000 total if the drive to a bigger GPU is warranted. Alternatively, run it on the integrated graphics (for those that don’t game), and use the extra $100-200 saved for a high-end graphics card for more storage, more memory, or more bling. Paired with a discrete GPU at 4K, it hits within a couple of percent of the best CPUs at high resolutions. Out of the box the part is real nice for a modern high-performance processor, but with a little nudge of overclocking, both of our in-house CPUs can hit 3.9 GHz on all cores for only a minor increase in power and temperature, something that should be very easy on the stock cooler that comes bundled with the chip. The reasoning is simple: this is a high-performance quad-core CPU for under $100 that has very respectable integrated graphics. It may seem odd to pick one of AMD’s lowest end processors as a favorite choice in this guide. Best Overall Choices AMD Ryzen 3 2200G ($96)
The majority of our recommendations aim to hit the performance/price curve just right, with a side nod to power consumption as well. To see our Best CPUs for Workstations Guide, follow this link: AnandTech Gaming CPU Recommendations: Q3 2018 Our Best CPUs for Gaming guide targets most of the common system-build price points that typically pair a beefy graphics card with a capable processor, with the best models being suitable for streaming and encoding on the fly. In our CPU Guides, we give you our pick of some of the best processors available, supplying data from our reviews.
