Could probably just get a i3-10100 tbh

If all you care about is gaming you can just get a i3-10100 and save money for a better gpu cause it seems fine tbh

the AMD 3300X is better value imo

Agreed, the CPU with a B seires mobo would be a winner, for gaming, both are about even, but if OP does mult-threaded content creation, the 3300X tops the i3 10100.

Why not the i5 10600K.

idk i was just looking at benchmarks cause i was interested in how good it was and at 4k, there is barely any difference.

It was the gaming benchmarks in this article

Well I did get one and it is pretty nice, 10th gen i5s feel more like i7s.

That's because at 4K, a lot depends on the GPU so it's stressed out. The test was done with an RTX 2080 Ti, replace it with an RTX 3080 or an RX 6800 XT, and the CPU may become a factor.

It's 4c8t trash. Not worth the time unless you have no budget.

Because at 2160p the bottleneck is the GPU, if you are looking at benchmarks in 2160p, it can't be a CPU benchmark.

No, just actual progression, result of Ryzen.
Their i5 series is okay, only real one of worth is the 10400F, since it can be had for a decent bit less than the 3600x, and performs the same.

10600K could be had for way less (more than 20% lower) than 5600X. Seem like price is up now again.

do NOT get something under 6 cores. I have 6 cores and I often hit 100% usage playing games +obs or doing simple tasks like watching 4k videos. Im saving up for an i9 and cant wait for 8+ cores and hyperthreading.

you might be able to get away with 4c 8t but you will often hit 100% usage and within the next few years you will be regretting you didnt opt for a higher core cpu

well i already got i5 but i just thought i3 specs seemed interesting these days
