How To Choose The Right CPU For Your Gaming PC!

[@aisle9]

Just gonna say, it's nice to log into KZbin and see a brand new BPS Customs video right on the front page, in the top row of my feed.

[@mylittlepwny3447]

Liking and commenting for algorithm. These videos are super well thought out and while not particularly useful to me, they should get recognized for how concise and thorough they are for new people in the new scene! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy the channel! Keep it up!

[@Intel-6969K]

Everyone knows the RGB is the first and most important decision

[@crazyyeetboi]

important how??

[@Bradleync2-hf5ot]

Everyone know people who think like that RGB Is important is a disrespect to computer science and people who are developer and software engineer everyone know the cpu it important it basically saying your brain is not important your cpu and gpu is last

[@fireball4thewin108]

​@Bradleync2-hf5ot lmao bro I hope that you're being facetious cause the commenter is obviously joking about rbg. It's such a common joke my guy.

Hoping these videos take off because it’s really nice to have some legit, useful, and clear information about building a modern PC. Nice stuff!

[@johnhurley8918]

Hugely helpful video. My boss is considering promoting me to a PC builder role at my work and this has definitely helpped me navigate the CPU landscape. Now I at least feel like I have a foundation to work on.

[@WildkatPhoto]

Great series. I will say that both AMD and Intel have done a pretty good job of keeping the 3/5/7/9 tiers pretty consistent. Ultra Budget - 3 series General use - 5 series Ive got a big boy job - 7 series What is a budget? - 9 series AMD just happened to screwed it up last generation by making the R5 3600 so good everyone could afford baller performance.

[@MazrimCF]

While I am not currently looking to build as I have a 10900k/3080 I love that you are putting this information out there so I can send people to this video.

[@witcher1973]

Well, i am glad to see someone who explains what the chopped up version of a part name is, most people take it for granted and assume that everyone that has or is into tech knows it already.... not everyone does.

[@badwifisimulator9318]

1:13 "This lovely face"🗿

[@thestrykernet]

Enjoyed the video, and greatly appreciated the emphasis you put on budget. I've found over the years that getting the right balance for PC build vs budget is often harder than people expect. I'm hoping that the forthcoming hybrid CPUs on desktop shake things up in the lower/mid segments and will happily look forward to part 2 of this video should that occur!

[@tns6862]

This is great! I can finally send my Frens an intro video to the hobby without overwhelming them

[@jasonmcquinn6601]

Great video. I was upgrading from a 4970k and gtx970. I don't do any hardcore gaming and mostly just WOW or FF14. I had started out wanting a 5900X but sort of came to the conclusion your video did and stuck to a 5600X since it would have been overkill for what I did and I could use a good cheap air cooler. I was also "lucky" enough to win the opportunity to buy an AMD 6700 and a very high end x570 MB that was total overkill for my 5600X from the Newegg shuffle. So far it has handled anything I throw at it with ease. Of course as i write this the new Intel stuff is out and the CPU's from them seem to be slightly cheaper (for a 5600X equivalent) for better gaming performance but the MB's and memory are expensive so I guess it sort of balances out.

[@deansigman6099]

I went used and got a Ryzen 7 2700x off of eBay for $110 and an Asus ROG x470 gaming f mobo for $80. R9 Fury as my place holder GPU for $120.

[@hquest]

I don't always multitask, but when I do, I go straight ESXi multitasking mode. Jokes aside, I guess the key message from your channel is the fact you continue to recommend budget oriented hardware instead of the "just because" latest and greatest.

[@BPSCustoms]

I never understood this mentality. Most people don’t need the latest thing and it’s just wasting money.

[@hquest]

@@BPSCustoms I think this is most on the lines of "I'm buying to show others I can afford it".

[@Ragnorok64]

I hope this series has long legs because it's got good info that will be relevant for a while, in spite of what the algorithm seems to be doing recently.

[@BPSCustoms]

That makes two of us lol

Thank you for the information, I like that you're giving information both content creator side and gaming side

[@Dudummeskind]

Even people who know how to build a pc might learn something form these videos. Awesome job. Hail to the mighty algorithm.

[@anthonydragani5499]

I just discovered your channel after watching your tour of the new Gamers Nexus building. Man, your videos are terrific! You do an excellent job of explaining things in a way that is concise and informative. I'll be sharing your videos with my oldest daughter, who is relatively new to PC building.

[@Kylesza]

Great video! Glad you spoke about it budget, not everyone needs the absolute best and shouldn’t need to be envious of higher end components!

[@MLGInfidel1]

How have I missed this channel for so long! I'm presently looking for a CPU for a new build to go with my 3080 I just managed to get. Subbed

[@redsol3629]

I'm new to the build and this helped me, thank you.

[@darcsentor]

This is some ready great advice in choosing the right CPU!!!! Your content deserves way more views.

[@vaeloreonari7516]

Ryzen 5 5600x in a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master ver 1.2, Seasonic 750 Focus Plus Gold, DeepCool Captain Pro 240 AIO, TeamGroup TForce 3600mhz ram, and a EVGA RTX 2080ti FTW 3 Ultra, inside a CoolerMaster MasterCase Pro 5, still the best case out there for Modularity, airflow and portability.

[@Valyssi]

For me the main consideration is longevity, since CPUs are expensive to upgrade. By the time you upgrade, you almost certainly will need a motherboard upgrade that supports the newer socket and very likely that also means a new RAM upgrade if those motherboards require newer gen DDR. Motherboards alone these days can easily cost $200+, sometimes twice as much as the CPU, so it becomes a major factor in deciding on an upgrade. Of course by that time you already have upgraded your GPU (for gaming rigs) and you're basically looking at a full upgrade. Point being, while GPU upgrades are fairly straightforward (they all run over PCIe and your only real consideration is if your current PC can fit it, power it, and won't severely bottleneck it), CPU upgrades tend to come with more components to upgrade, so you'll want them around for a lot longer if you can. Of course, that still leaves the exercise of actually weighing whether the additional cost upfront is worth it. A higher tier CPU of the same gen will last longer, but for how long, compared to its price? And older hardware is more prone to failure, if at any point you experience a major failure that's outside warranty and repairability, that's it. *EDIT keep in mind my point about motherboard upgrades only really applies if you're already using a current gen medium and above tier GPU. Of course if you started from an i3 you could upgrade that to an i7 or i9 of the same generation, sometimes even a generation above it, and get good performance without needing to upgrade any other parts. Personally I tend to buy an i5 or i7 from the get-go and stick with it for many generations

[@garytrawinski1843]

Another Great Video! I really like the new format.

[@rayndooma5624]

Awesome video Brian! Loving this series!

[@bloodybucket213]

Another great installment. Nice lighting. Good call not getting into the integrated graphics; it does say 'Gaming PC' in the title. Also: I got notification on my phone, but not my PC. That's new for me. Also: Also: Nice hat! I took a tour of a Stroh's brewery in 1980something.

[@priscillabonham6082]

Thanks for this one, very helpful for me.

[@DavidD-bj3es]

Yes.. yes I want 16 cores.

[@brinkman4925]

Dont get the i9. IMO I got that thing back in 2011 or so for 1000. It still a beast. Iived through a thermal overload when the CPU fan died and the computer stayed running for god know how long. It benchmarked lower than expected after that but better than a lot of newer chips. Ultimately i got phased out because of the chips compatability instead of performance. Now i cant upgrade to newer software despite the chip being capable speed wise. The computer has never been slow at anything. 13 years though. I think ill spend less money and upgrade more often going forward.

[@cosminlesutan3574]

Great video. What you might wanna add is geographical location . I know its hard to cover but in my case a 5600x is the same price as a 10900KF because reasons ... and motherboards don't scale on features but on how they look mostly

[@BPSCustoms]

It would be hard for me to incorporate differences based on location. Too many variables in that case.

[@SuvinRK]

Great run down on the current market and how to choose CPUs. Excellent video!

[@RukhWhitefang]

Will be interesting to see what Intel releases with its 12th gen chips later this year. Currently sitting on an 8700k and a 2080 ti so no reason to upgrade, yet.

[@ssmeshedy]

[@BlaqViper]

Great video for those just starting out on PC builds or looking for their next build. I’ve been running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on an i7, 6700, 32GB and a GTX1660 fairly comfortably at 1080p. But I’m now ready to kick thing up a notch to 4K. What would be a good CPU/GPU combo leaving a little headroom that won’t nuke my wallet? Thanks

[@vespasian606]

My 3300x has a GPU budget of about £450. Not paying that for a 2060. Guess my 1060 6Gb will be around for a bit longer.

[@mrvinny985]

I think the ryzen 5600x is good enough for any gpu if you're just gaming. My 5600x and 3080 rocks every game i throw at it and benchmarks show the fps gains are marginal.

[@-Ryan-1776]

Im torn on either upgrading to a 5600x/5800x or waiting for next gen or am5. If I upgrade from 2700x with 2060 super on a b450 tomahawk max what would be a good practical upgrade?

[@BPSCustoms]

I would wait. 2700x is still very strong.

[@-Ryan-1776]

Thank you for the reply. I was leaning toward waiting awhile also. Sometimes I just get impatient 🤣🤣🤣. Playing New World with this current set up on everything on highest settings my 2700x runs between 20%-45% usage with temps about 56°-60° WITH A Noctua 12s air cooler. My 2060 super runs at 64°. I do have my frames capped at 60 jusr because of the issues the newer cards are having.

[@rahliE777]

GREAT video! I gotta question, I’m building a new PC now and want to build a top of the line badass setup for high end gaming and possible streaming.. I was able to score a 3070ti at the last BB in-store drop (1 person away from a 3080 🤬), and will likely upgrade down the road when the time is right (meaning I can go into a store or online and purchase a 3080 for retail).. I found a solid deal on a 5900x but am having a little trouble figuring out what MB to run with it as I don’t want to spend $500 on the MB.. Would an Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming be adequate for a 5900x?

[@BPSCustoms]

It would but to be honest if you're in Ryzen 9 territory you should really be looking at the X570 boards.

[@masksenpai3381]

ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD AM4 X570 is probably the best x570 right now for 5900x & 5950x

[@rahliE777]

@@BPSCustoms Asus Prime X570 Pro? Sorry for all the questions, I know a little bit about a little bit but MB’s are where my knowledge comes to an end.. I’m doing a 2-tone white/black build, I’d love to find a MB that fits that color scheme

[@yorkyswe]

You might want to mention socket support. Intel has been really bad at this and changing the sockets nearly every generation. AMD keeps the same socket for multiple generations, although it is due to change soon, you can expect the new socket to be supported for years. Makes upgrading CPUs much easier and cheaper, since you do not have to buy a new motherboard too.

[@chaosordeal294]

If you're upgrading your PC before its socket goes out of style, you are upgrading too often.
