Question A good CPU to pair with this GPU

[SlinkyGuitar645]

What is a good cheaper cpu to pair with the RTX 2080?

What sort of a budget are we looking at here? Where are you located? You will also need to pair that processor with a compatible motherboard and ram kit. What sort of tasks will you tax the system with? If it's gaming, please mention the titles without including an etc in the sentence.

For the CPU Motherboard and Ram im thinking around the £200 mark (That should give a clue to where im from) if I don't have enough for 3200MHz Ram I'll just downgrade to 1600MHz.
Gaming is what im looking to do most likely just 1080p but if I can make things work I would try to do 1440p if i could fit it in my budget

The games im looking at are like GTA V, Payday Doom, And a battle royale game that it wont let me say for some reason so a very broad selection I just want the least amount of bottleneck within my £150-200 budget ish

ofc, I'm assuming you have a reliably built PSU to power your entire build.

Alr thanks and yea my psu is 650w so it should cover this

650W is the advertised wattage of the unit. What is the make and model of the unit? Is it being recycled from an older build(used)?
