CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($110.99 @ SuperBiiz) If you are going to play Battlefield 1, I would highly recommend getting an i5 6500. The i3 will get maxed out and you will have stuttering. Even i7's can have issues in Battlefield 1 as it is very CPU intensive.

Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  ($36.99 @ Newegg)

quick edit - buy the thermaltake versa h23 or h21 or h22  - good amount of space for cable management and is only about 5 dollars more

AMD CPU's ARE NOT worth getting at the moment. Why get an R9 380 when you can get an RX 480 4 GB/ RX 470/ GTX 1060 3 GB/GTX 1050 Ti for the same price? PSU is also not that great for the price.

This is a bug in the game, not how the game actually is. I have a 5820K overclocked to 4.5GHz and I get stuttering and only about 35% usage

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

Audio --- Headphones: Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX || Amp: Schiit Audio Magni 3 || DAC: Schiit Audio Modi 3 || Mic: Blue Yeti

 

[Under Construction]

 

My Truck --- 2002 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke || 6-speed

My Car --- 2006 Mustang GT || 5-speed || BBK LTs, O/R X, MBRP Cat-back || BBK Lowering Springs, LCAs || 2007 GT500 wheels w/ 245s/285s

 

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

 

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.

Well it is still CPU intensive. A lot of i5 and even i7 (quad-core) users are getting 100% CPU usage.
