i5 4460

Anything with high single thread performance is fine. My i5 only uses 2 cores when running CS:GO and I max it out with an i5 4460 and a gtx 260 no problem

It's CS:GO doesn't really take much to run it. I have a laptop with an A10 and the built in graphics and I can still run the game on high settings with 60+fps so...

i3 and gtx750 can max out 1080p60fps no problem but i5 isnt bad either but youvdont need it for csgo but i waod go for gaming i5 and gtx 970

I have a g3220 dual core pentium that runs it perfectly fine. It doesn't really matter to CS:GO, it's not that intensive of a game.

So basically what you think the BEST CPU out there is the BEST CPU out there for CS:GO.

Well you're wrong.

It's all single threaded for source.....

If your joking, then why not bring it to off topic.

I run CSGO on a G3258 4.5GHz@ 300FPS on 'competitive' (low) settings.

I wonder how much ram.......

2GB is probably gonna get you 15FPS stable under 480P.

That's what happened to me with a P8600 and a ATi Radeon HD3400M

I play on 8GB. No idea how must usage but I usually have about 15 other windows and multiple firefox tabs open at the same time.

Idk, CS:GO runs like crap on my P8600 laptop. Probably because it's 32 bit or something.

Not sure, it runs fine on my laptop (3217u/HD4000 @450MHz).

 

I suspect it's just a bit too old to run it nicely, the 3400M wasn't exactly a powerhouse in its day

Best? i7 lack money? FX/i5 (FX is good for 60FPS but i5 is better for 144FPS)

[IateMApoo]

Anything starting from Pentium and Athlon will max CSGO...
