powerful integrated Graphics because a

powerful integrated Graphics because a similarity you'll find amongst many of

similarity you'll find amongst many of

similarity you'll find amongst many of those CPUs is that they come with

to go well that may have been a useful

to go well that may have been a useful argument back when there was a GPU

argument back when there was a GPU

argument back when there was a GPU shortage and crypto mining boom back in

2021 and 2022 in 2024 you can just about

2021 and 2022 in 2024 you can just about get a graphics card at any price range

get a graphics card at any price range

get a graphics card at any price range like seriously and I think the

don't think it's worth getting an APU

don't think it's worth getting an APU now in 2024 just get yourself a

now in 2024 just get yourself a

now in 2024 just get yourself a dedicated CPU and a dedicated GPU for

dedicated CPU and a dedicated GPU for

dedicated CPU and a dedicated GPU for gaming that is the best way to do it so

gaming that is the best way to do it so

gaming that is the best way to do it so I'm going to kick things off with the

I'm going to kick things off with the

I'm going to kick things off with the best budget gaming CPU you can buy under

best budget gaming CPU you can buy under

best budget gaming CPU you can buy under $50 yeah I'm going to go straight to

$50 yeah I'm going to go straight to

$50 yeah I'm going to go straight to there there is indeed one and let me

there there is indeed one and let me

there there is indeed one and let me show you how you can find so if we go

show you how you can find so if we go

show you how you can find so if we go here to my website PC bills. G and we

here to my website PC bills. G and we

here to my website PC bills. G and we sort by price by descending sorry

sort by price by descending sorry

sort by price by descending sorry ascending we've got my $500 gaming PC

ascending we've got my $500 gaming PC

ascending we've got my $500 gaming PC which I'm soon going to be producing on

which I'm soon going to be producing on

which I'm soon going to be producing on the channel and if we look into it we'll

the channel and if we look into it we'll

the channel and if we look into it we'll see this CPU called the ryzen 5 3500x

see this CPU called the ryzen 5 3500x

see this CPU called the ryzen 5 3500x which we can get from AliExpress for a

which we can get from AliExpress for a

which we can get from AliExpress for a very cool and I got it in my hands for

very cool and I got it in my hands for

very cool and I got it in my hands for $48 yeah the ryzen 5 3500x is a bit of

$48 yeah the ryzen 5 3500x is a bit of

$48 yeah the ryzen 5 3500x is a bit of an anomaly you can buy one of these

an anomaly you can buy one of these

an anomaly you can buy one of these again for under $50 six cores six

again for under $50 six cores six

again for under $50 six cores six threads on the ryzen 3000 architecture

threads on the ryzen 3000 architecture

threads on the ryzen 3000 architecture and here's what's cool this actually

and here's what's cool this actually

and here's what's cool this actually comes with the full L3 cache of 32 mbes

comes with the full L3 cache of 32 mbes

comes with the full L3 cache of 32 mbes which can't be found in other budget

which can't be found in other budget

which can't be found in other budget gaming CPUs like the ryzen 5 5500 5600 G

gaming CPUs like the ryzen 5 5500 5600 G

gaming CPUs like the ryzen 5 5500 5600 G and 5500g all those come with 16 megab

and 5500g all those come with 16 megab

and 5500g all those come with 16 megab of L3 cache whereas this does come with

of L3 cache whereas this does come with

of L3 cache whereas this does come with the full 32 which is what makes this

the full 32 which is what makes this

the full 32 which is what makes this kind of a sleeper CPU for under $50 now

kind of a sleeper CPU for under $50 now

kind of a sleeper CPU for under $50 now the only drawback to getting this from

the only drawback to getting this from

the only drawback to getting this from AliExpress is from my understanding a

AliExpress is from my understanding a

AliExpress is from my understanding a lot of you who are watching from Europe

lot of you who are watching from Europe

lot of you who are watching from Europe can't access AliExpress which kind of

can't access AliExpress which kind of

can't access AliExpress which kind of sucks which is why if we again check on

sucks which is why if we again check on

sucks which is why if we again check on PC bills. if we check out these other

PC bills. if we check out these other

PC bills. if we check out these other retailers I mean if we look into Amazon

retailers I mean if we look into Amazon

retailers I mean if we look into Amazon the nearest CPU to this is going to have

the nearest CPU to this is going to have

the nearest CPU to this is going to have to be the ryzen 5 3600 or 5500 but if

to be the ryzen 5 3600 or 5500 but if

to be the ryzen 5 3600 or 5500 but if you can get this CPU for under $50 it is

you can get this CPU for under $50 it is

you can get this CPU for under $50 it is so worth its money in terms of relative

so worth its money in terms of relative

so worth its money in terms of relative performance to the 3600 which costs

performance to the 3600 which costs

performance to the 3600 which costs about $30 to $40 more it's not too far

about $30 to $40 more it's not too far

about $30 to $40 more it's not too far off even if it has six less threads but

off even if it has six less threads but

off even if it has six less threads but like I said the main drawback is that

like I said the main drawback is that

like I said the main drawback is that this is not technically a brand new CPU

this is not technically a brand new CPU

this is not technically a brand new CPU this is a China only CPU which is why

this is a China only CPU which is why

this is a China only CPU which is why you can only find this on AliExpress

you can only find this on AliExpress

you can only find this on AliExpress meaning if we check here on description

meaning if we check here on description

meaning if we check here on description you can see from many of these retailers

you can see from many of these retailers

you can see from many of these retailers they'll list that this is pulled from a

they'll list that this is pulled from a

they'll list that this is pulled from a working machine meaning that it is used

working machine meaning that it is used

working machine meaning that it is used but from what I can see I don't see any

but from what I can see I don't see any

but from what I can see I don't see any noticeable scratches although this

noticeable scratches although this

noticeable scratches although this listing says it could have some it's got

listing says it could have some it's got

listing says it could have some it's got a little JN stamp on it you can see it

a little JN stamp on it you can see it

a little JN stamp on it you can see it here on the b-roll I think this fine

here on the b-roll I think this fine

here on the b-roll I think this fine like with given how cheap it is why not

like with given how cheap it is why not

like with given how cheap it is why not if you can get your hands on one why not

if you can get your hands on one why not

if you can get your hands on one why not this is the only CPU I'll recommend

this is the only CPU I'll recommend

this is the only CPU I'll recommend under $50 now what about above $50 say

under $50 now what about above $50 say

under $50 now what about above $50 say below 100 bucks well you've got a few

below 100 bucks well you've got a few

below 100 bucks well you've got a few options which let's cover those now

options which let's cover those now

options which let's cover those now you've got from Intel the I3 12100 and

you've got from Intel the I3 12100 and

you've got from Intel the I3 12100 and 13100 F from AMD you've got like I just

13100 F from AMD you've got like I just

13100 F from AMD you've got like I just said the ryzen 5 3600 and ryzen 5 5500

said the ryzen 5 3600 and ryzen 5 5500

said the ryzen 5 3600 and ryzen 5 5500 but the one I really want to highlight

but the one I really want to highlight

but the one I really want to highlight is going to have to be the ryzen 5 5600

is going to have to be the ryzen 5 5600

is going to have to be the ryzen 5 5600 so let's start with Intel the I3 12100

so let's start with Intel the I3 12100

so let's start with Intel the I3 12100 and 13100 F if we check right now on

and 13100 F if we check right now on

and 13100 F if we check right now on Amazon it's about $80 what about the

Amazon it's about $80 what about the

Amazon it's about $80 what about the 13100 F also about $80 that actually

13100 F also about $80 that actually

13100 F also about $80 that actually isn't too bad and one thing I want to

isn't too bad and one thing I want to

isn't too bad and one thing I want to point out to a lot of you who may be

point out to a lot of you who may be

point out to a lot of you who may be watching this is that although this is a

watching this is that although this is a

watching this is that although this is a 4 core CPU it beats the ryzen 5 3600 and

4 core CPU it beats the ryzen 5 3600 and

4 core CPU it beats the ryzen 5 3600 and 5500 in terms of gaming performance even

5500 in terms of gaming performance even

5500 in terms of gaming performance even with two less cores and four less

with two less cores and four less

with two less cores and four less threats that's because the internal

threats that's because the internal

threats that's because the internal architecture on these 12th and 13th

architecture on these 12th and 13th

architecture on these 12th and 13th generation CPUs from Intel are really

generation CPUs from Intel are really

generation CPUs from Intel are really good for gaming there's single threaded

good for gaming there's single threaded

good for gaming there's single threaded performance is excellent so in terms of

performance is excellent so in terms of

performance is excellent so in terms of gaming performance if we're being real

gaming performance if we're being real

gaming performance if we're being real here Intel actually is the faster option

here Intel actually is the faster option

here Intel actually is the faster option over the 3600 and the 5500 which I will

over the 3600 and the 5500 which I will

over the 3600 and the 5500 which I will say if you wanted to look into the ryzen

say if you wanted to look into the ryzen

say if you wanted to look into the ryzen 5 3600 it's about

5 3600 it's about

5 3600 it's about $90 that's okay if we look into the 5500

$90 that's okay if we look into the 5500

$90 that's okay if we look into the 5500 that is a better buy it's about $85 both

that is a better buy it's about $85 both

that is a better buy it's about $85 both the 3600 and 5500 are pretty much going

the 3600 and 5500 are pretty much going

the 3600 and 5500 are pretty much going to offer the same exact performance

to offer the same exact performance

to offer the same exact performance because the 5500 comes with 16 megab of

because the 5500 comes with 16 megab of

because the 5500 comes with 16 megab of L3 cache whereas the 3600 comes with the

L3 cache whereas the 3600 comes with the

L3 cache whereas the 3600 comes with the full 32 but the 5500 is on the updated

full 32 but the 5500 is on the updated

full 32 but the 5500 is on the updated ryzen 5000 architecture versus the older

ryzen 5000 architecture versus the older

ryzen 5000 architecture versus the older ryzen 3000 architecture so their

ryzen 3000 architecture so their

ryzen 3000 architecture so their performance kind of levels out which is

performance kind of levels out which is

performance kind of levels out which is why they're about the same so although

why they're about the same so although

why they're about the same so although Intel could be an option worth looking

Intel could be an option worth looking

Intel could be an option worth looking into in this price range because I have

into in this price range because I have

into in this price range because I have no doubt in my mind these older Intel

no doubt in my mind these older Intel

no doubt in my mind these older Intel CPUs are going to go on a crazy discount

CPUs are going to go on a crazy discount

CPUs are going to go on a crazy discount come Black Friday and seber Monday so if

come Black Friday and seber Monday so if

come Black Friday and seber Monday so if you're comfortable investing into an

you're comfortable investing into an

you're comfortable investing into an older platform that from Intel that is

older platform that from Intel that is

older platform that from Intel that is probably going to get outdated because

probably going to get outdated because

probably going to get outdated because Intel just launched their new Ultra

Intel just launched their new Ultra

Intel just launched their new Ultra Series CPUs on the LGA 1851 socket that

Series CPUs on the LGA 1851 socket that

Series CPUs on the LGA 1851 socket that only uses D5 then go for it but I

only uses D5 then go for it but I

only uses D5 then go for it but I personally wouldn't even look into any

personally wouldn't even look into any

personally wouldn't even look into any of these CPUs heck I wouldn't even look

of these CPUs heck I wouldn't even look

of these CPUs heck I wouldn't even look into any of the ryzen 4,000 CPUs like

into any of the ryzen 4,000 CPUs like

into any of the ryzen 4,000 CPUs like the 4100 and the 4500 because both of

the 4100 and the 4500 because both of

the 4100 and the 4500 because both of those are ridiculously slow what I think

those are ridiculously slow what I think

those are ridiculously slow what I think like I said at the very start that is

like I said at the very start that is

like I said at the very start that is most worth looking into is the ryzen 5

most worth looking into is the ryzen 5

most worth looking into is the ryzen 5 5600 there are levels to these budget

5600 there are levels to these budget

5600 there are levels to these budget gaming CPUs and the 5600 is in a league

gaming CPUs and the 5600 is in a league

gaming CPUs and the 5600 is in a league of its own so like I said for reference

of its own so like I said for reference

of its own so like I said for reference if you check out the 5500 it's about $85

if you check out the 5500 it's about $85

if you check out the 5500 it's about $85 but if we just look at the price of a

but if we just look at the price of a

but if we just look at the price of a 5600 it's about $10 on new EG or not New

5600 it's about $10 on new EG or not New

5600 it's about $10 on new EG or not New Egg Amazon but if we check on New Egg

Egg Amazon but if we check on New Egg

Egg Amazon but if we check on New Egg and it's going to get cheaper come Black

and it's going to get cheaper come Black

and it's going to get cheaper come Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a 15 off

Friday and Cyber Monday with a 15 off

Friday and Cyber Monday with a 15 off promo code it's about $110 so that puts

promo code it's about $110 so that puts

promo code it's about $110 so that puts it at about a

it at about a

it at about a $25 price Gap versus the 5500 and I

$25 price Gap versus the 5500 and I

$25 price Gap versus the 5500 and I think spending that extra $25 to the

think spending that extra $25 to the

think spending that extra $25 to the 5600 is absolutely worth it versus the

5600 is absolutely worth it versus the

5600 is absolutely worth it versus the 5500 for instance the 5600 comes with

5500 for instance the 5600 comes with

5500 for instance the 5600 comes with the full 32 MB of L3 cache and you'll be

the full 32 MB of L3 cache and you'll be

the full 32 MB of L3 cache and you'll be surprised with how much of a difference

surprised with how much of a difference

surprised with how much of a difference that makes in benchmarks and if you're

one thing you'll notice between both of these boxes between the 7700 and 7700x

these boxes between the 7700 and 7700x
