💡 How to pick a processor
What to look for:
  • Socket must match your motherboard (AM5 for new AMD, LGA1851 for new Intel)
  • Core count and clock speed for performance
  • TDP (wattage) affects cooling needs
💰 Budget builds: under $200. Mainstream gaming: $250-$400. Enthusiast: $500+

★★★★★Great cpu!
It has been around 3 years since i bought this cpu, it's insanely great for the price, power usage is low for the performance it gives, not to mention the low TDP, a totally great cpu for a budget build!

★★★★★happy 🙂 and enjoy the day that God has made.

★★★★★F IS FOR FRIENDS WHO DO STUFF TOGETHER
The F stands for fun, because I built such a fun little ITX gaming machine with this. Also beware the F actually stands for no IGPU. Low power consumption, and enough to drive a lot of GPUs. Thanks Steve
