Asking For a Friend ...

[Hi Guys Hope your well :)]

Hi guys , I was wondering What Cpu would be great paired with a Sapphire Rx 580 8gb for gaming .hes  Looking for no bottlenecking and a decent price around £220

New or used? You can easily find a used X58 setup and a Xeon for that much, I'd go that route. Either that, or Ryzen.

if anything, i would personally reccomend you get a nice cute little core 2 duo(or quad if you wanna hurt my feelings) and pair that with 4gb of ddr2 ram and a nice old ATI Radeon HD4870. it may be an old config, but it is great for playing older games and can run things like fallout new vegas amazingly

Just the CPU? If you want new, the Ryzen 5 2600.

If you have DDR3 RAM already then something like a 4690K and Z97 motherboard might work

If you want to go new:

nah i think i will use a raspberry pi instead, with my blazing fast 1gb ram and 1.2ghz quad core imma beat that core 2 duo.

When both of those cost the same I'd always pick the newer option. While X58 and a beefy 6 core Xeon are nice in many ways, it's still 8-9 year old gear without a way to upgrade it cheaply. Those are just my two cents, though

Full CPU, mobo and Ram. Then this

AMD 1600X this is a little over on the performance side but worth the spend.
