Best Budget CPU that money can buy?

[Randy Marsh]

I have a spare GTX 1070 that is collecting dust.

Athlon 3000G?

That 1070 would be useless next to a Athlon. I don't recommend anything less then a 3200G, and even it will struggle in some more demanding games.

Thanks, good point. I will check out the 3200G.

I completely forgot about the 3100 and 3300x which released just now, sorry. I highly recommend those over the 3200g since you will be using a discrete gpu.

The 3300X trades blows with the old quad core i7 CPUs for the same price as the 3200g.

Ryzen 3 3100 or 3300X.

CPU user benchmark is a horrible and biased website and it's owners are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who frequently attack anyone who points out how biased their site is.

Various online tech forums and Reddit communities (AMD, Intel, Ayyymd, PcGamingMasterRace etc..) don't allow it to be linked anymore. For good reasons.

We should stop linking it here also.

I completely agree with everything you just said, it is heavily biased, and isn't that great of a website.
However it serves as a quick reference; If you take one source as 'proof', that's a problem. So I take no one source as proof.
For comparing things very quickly, it's a handy website, but checking exacts, well leave that to the professionals. (GamersNexus.)

The website isn't inherantly bad, however, people with biases use it to 'prove' that their CPU is good, it's owners are shadey, and it's believed by those who read one number and accept that as exact truths.

So it has a number of issues, mostly user error. So I personally am not going to stop linking it, because it serves my purpose of being a quick reference. Though, like I said, I perfectly understand why you're against it.


OP;

This would be your best bet.
Unless you can grab 6-7th gen i7 + Board for cheaper, secondhand.
Still, you wouldn't be able to upgrade that rig anymore, as it's a dead socket.
So, you know, significantly cheaper.

Ultra budget - 3300x

Budget performance - 1600AF/2600

Budget king - 3600/3600x

Nothing intel is worth it, specially in these price points. 3300x beats the i3 hands down, and the trend just continues. Only arguable area would be budget performance with the 1600af/2600 vs some of the intel 6c/6t options, but I would still go AMD if nothing else than for proper upgrade options to 8+ cores on Ryzen 3000 down the line (or 4000 if you wait a week or two and go b550).
