Hello folks, tried r/buildapc, but got only one input, so I had to come back back here as I know numerous helpers are around and vocal. I've had the same components for about 2-3 years as I built it during my early years of high school. They were good enough for me as I mainly only played...

I know the SKU number is pretty much a way for the manifacturer to label products as is the core idea of SKU. but can we get a rough idea of performance differences between different sku numbers?

Basically, how do I know what GPU would pair with what CPU, and vice versa? What should i look for in a CPU and GPU to know that they are a good combination?
