The i3-4370, i5-3330 or A10-7800B? I'll be mainly using it for light office work, browsing, and possibly programming. I won't add a GPU, but can they handle 1440P?

First 2 are just borderline nowadays. AMD CPU on the other hand was destined for landfil the moment they released it. Are these your only options? Out of those i5 is the the one with most cores.

I'll give some context, so basically I have everthing expect a MOBO and CPU. I'm keeping my budget under $30 (excluding what I already have) and so far the MOBO costs $13 and the i5-3330 is $11. The next CPU on the ladder is the i5-3570k for $16, the other CPUs (like i7) are atleast $20. I already have another PC, but this is more of a project and try the 2nd hand (Chinese) market.

I used to have an i5-3570K. While it should technically be able to do 2560x1600, mine was limited to 1080p. Likely a combination of board + connector type that was used.

I do have a VGA to HDMI adapter. It was able to push A4-3300 to 1440p, but not without developing artifacts due to it's iGPU's limitations.

i5-3330 would probably give the least worst experience of the lot. The only caution I'd have is it only has older AVX instructions, not AVX2 introduced with 4th gen.

You want to avoid the A10. The GPU is decent but the Steamroller CPU is absolute garbage. I've had the A10 7800 and the x4 860K and both struggled with basic tasks in Win10.

Asus ROG G531GT : i7-9750H - GTX 1650M +700mem - MSI RX6600 Armor 8G M.2 eGPU - Samsung 16+8GB PC4-2666 - Samsung 860 EVO 500G 2.5" - 1920x1080@145Hz (172Hz) IPS panel

Family PC : i5-4570 (-125mV) - cheap dual-pipe cooler - Gigabyte Z87M-HD3 Rev1.1 - Kingston HyperX Fury 4x4GB PC3-1600 - Corsair VX450W - an old Thermaltake ATX case

iMac 21.5" (late 2011) : i5-2400S, HD 6750M 512MB - Samsung 4x4GB PC3-1333 - WT200 512G SSD (High Sierra) - 1920x1080@60 LCD

Even against the i5-3750k?

I missed that later down. It would be a small upgrade on the 3330 with slightly higher clocks. If that is worth it is up to you.

If UserBenchMark is reliable since it's Intel vs Intel there's 10% increase in pref, but not really worth it.

no please GOD NO, it's the first option when you look things up, but its not reliable, look for REAL benchmarks, from somewhere like tom's hardware or similar
