Best Budget CPU for 1080p gaming?

[BlackSword]

What is the best budget Intel CPU for 1080p gaming?

 

P.S. I'm gonna be pairing it with GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

Currently I have a i3 7100 so I'm looking for something better than that. Something with 4 cored hopefully.

If I had a fixed budget I'd have already bought a CPU

As to games mostly 2016 onwards fps games

And atleast 45+ fps

So no budget limit then huh?

ok , I recommend a threadripper. Well actually , a quad socketed 2011 board would be faster provided you can make use of the extra cpu's. I supposed I'd recommend either of those seeing as we have no budget limit. Both should be quite good and suit your needs.

Thought maybe you should know most games don't need more than 4 cores. So maybe you should buy a threadripper and split it in half and ship one half to me for giggles.

STOP wasting my time dude.

i3 7100 and 1050ti will be fine

 

if you can find a cheap Skylake/kabylake i5 then go for it, but for budget PC, Pentium g4560 or 4600 are good..........i5 should really be considered mid-range

 

Coffee lake is mostly out of stock here....although the local chain (Memory Express) has 3 coffee lake CPUs in stock 2 - i3 8100, and 1 i5 8400

If you already have an i3-7100, see if you can find a used i5 7400, 7500, or 7600 for an affordable price.

Line 1 is 7700K @ 4.8Ghz

Line 2 is 7700k at stock

Line 3 is Pentium G4600

Line 4 was my old 760 with G4600....(well...it's technically my roommates)

L5-7 was 760 with XEON x5650 at varying states of overclock/voltage

L8 was 920 at 3.3 Ghz  with 760

L12 was old i7 920 at stock with 760

L15 is the Kaby lake integrated GPU

 

expect i5 to be somewhere in between (from personal experience, probably 125-130fps)

I added a few other entries with my old hardware so you can see how things have evolved in 8 yrs
