how do you all compare cpu and gpus?

So Im level 5 right now and I have to get recommended settings for a game, willitrun suggests amd, the client has intel. Other than price, how do you all compare different companies' GPUs and CPUs from the client in the store?

you use the program called [ Part Ranking ] that you have to buy in game's shop

I love you.

note that this program will show you only the parts you actually have unlocked in that save.
So if you feel you don't have that much choice, the list will get longer and longer (and get messy to read)

Note that CPU's are on the second part of that list so scroll down

EDIT : in that guide, look for the CPU & GPU Score Table, that is a complete list of actual parts scores in benchmark

Also BiuBiu's calculator is of great help when you are learning the part's "efficiency"

Small little thing to add. Just something I noticed. If you're like me and keep the Part Ranking program open, close it and reopen it to refresh any new parts you just unlocked.

On another note, you can 'usually' guess what the game is looking for with the budget the customer gives you. Say for instance the customer needs more RAM and you know you need to switch out the CPU. RAM upgrade costs $130 and your budget is $270. Well...what CPU costs $140? There ya go....
