Hey everyone!

I’m building a gaming PC and trying to balance performance with budget. I want to get the best value-for-money CPU that can handle modern games at 1080p and even 1440p without going overboard on price.

I’m familiar with the common options like the AMD Ryzen series and Intel Core processors, but I’m unsure which one gives me the most bang for my buck in terms of gaming performance. I’ve been using PC Builder to help me choose compatible parts for my build, but I’d love to hear from you all about which CPUs you’ve had great experiences with.

Here’s a quick look at the rest of my build:

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super



RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX



Storage: 500GB SSD



What do you think would be the best CPU option for this kind of build? I’m aiming for good gaming performance without overspending.

Thanks a lot for any advice!
