Under $150

Introduction

Processor is very essential part of the CPU. It is the brain of all the Operation. And in order to make a great gaming computer in 2016, you’re going to need a good quality CPU. There are many games available in 2016 and they require heavy rendering so we can’t just dependent on graphics card we require a great brain to pull that rendering easily. Let’s check out the processor which best suit your budget:



5. AMD Athlon X4 860K

It's a very good for the money AMD quad core cpu clocked at 3.7 gigahertz it's based off become very architecture .So it's newer than a lot of AMD CPUs you see out there it's made on the 28 nanometer process draws 95 W of power this is on the socket FM2 plus so you're going to have to get the compatible motherboard it's only seventy dollars you're getting a very good overclockable quad-core CPU for very cheap I put this in a probably 400- 500 dollars at the most a budget for a gaming pc but  it should fit very well into a lower budget PC and overall for the price you can't really get a much better quad-core.

4. Intel Xeon E5 2670

It's an intel xeon E5 2670, clocked at only 2.6 Gigahertz but it's an eight core cpu picture cause 115 W, so for only $104 you're getting a monster of a cpu here eight cores 2.6 gigahertz you can overclock it higher than that if you want but you aren't really worried about the thick cocks feeds on this thing what you care about is the fact this thing is an eight core xeon cpu it's gonna be great for editing great for rendering, live streaming, multitasking  and only $104 the only downside with these things are though is that they are used and also the motherboards for these Xeon's can be fairly expensive because they're kinda hard to find there aren't that many out there since it's kinda old and the ones that are out there are fairly expensive but overall once you even after you factor in the motherboard it's still a very very good value for an eight core intel CPU so i had to throw the xeon e5 2670 in here just because it's in so and it is a very enticing value for somebody is looking to game as well as Eddie it or anything like that on a budget.
