Unfortunately, because of Intel's idiocy, those designations are meaningless within the context of either gaming performance or value. Depends on the generation, depends on the chip.
With that said, if we're just talking the tower itself, you can get a perfectly decent pew pew playing machine for a thousand bucks. It's not ideal, but it's doable.

Hi, all. I'm looking to find a good deal on a new monitor for my nephew for Christmas and was hoping you guys would help me find something for him. I'm helping him build a new computer and he needs to upgrade! He will have a 7800x3d 4070 build. I think he will be gaming in 1440p. He's most interested in best bang for the buck and not necessarily the newest model. Thanks!

Budget? What type of games is he playing? I see some decent deals right now under $200 for 27” 1440 144-165hz
Or if he’s more of a single player gamer, look at Ultrawides
Or if you really want to blow to bank out, there’s 1440p 240hz OLEDs on sale for $800ish but I’m personally holding off on those until prices drop

While I have played console games all this time, I haven’t played on a computer since college.
I’m going to buy a desktop. I will probably play some FPS games on it like COD.
Am I going to regret spending a little over $1,000 for an i5 chip and 16GB RAM? Will that be obsolete in 6 months?
Do I need to just cough up $3K-$4K a legit system with i9 and 64GB ram?
An i5 is good for gaming. i9 is overkill. i7 is probably the sweet spot. But there's not gonna be a huge difference between the three.

If you're just gaming, get an i5-13600k/14600k if you want Intel, get a 5800X3D/7800X3D if you want AMD.
For just gaming its not worth getting anything else if you are doing a brand new build.

You really are on the spectrum, aren't you? Now I feel kinda bad

Sweetie pie, I post on Gaming and Tech all the time. Happening to reply to one of your pointless replies on there isn't stalking you <3

Keep stalking my posts. I'll keep frickin with ya.

Still not stalking you, asspie. Tech and Gaming are two of my most frequented boards. If you reply either on a thread I've recently posted on or on a fricking sticky on one of those boards, I'm probably going to see it fairly quickly. I promise if you continue posting some pathetic shite about me on some random board that I'll never notice and you can have the little party in your head

I imagine he wanted everyone on this board to acknowledge... the number? He did on me here? At some point? I guess?
I'm sure it sounded great in his head at the time.

We're all Nvidia and Intel shills

This is accurate. I rarely consider AMD when looking at builds. I'm probably limiting myself.
Question.
I have an 11th gen intel cpu. Its working fine. I'm planning my next build. I don't want to get a 14th gen as there is no cpu upgrade from there on that current MB architecture (as is the case for my 11th gen). If I go 15th, I would think they wouldn't change chipset until 17th or 18th. Is there any way to know this? Am I being dumb? I'm okay with honesty.

I (ironically considering the context we find ourselves in haha) know more about AMD CPUs than I do Intel, but at least historically, Intel tends to change chipset every generation, every second generation if you’re lucky. That could change in the future due to AMD’s encroachment in market share, in large part due to their longevity, but that’s yet to be seen.
Posted on 1/4/24 at 3:28 pm to Joshjrn
So AMD has a tendency to keep chipsets longer, allowing for CPU upgrades more easily?
I don't understand the AMD CPU naming convention, say like I do intel (i5, i7, i9, 1400...etc). I will need to study up.
