Hello everybody!
I am tasked with sourcing parts and building a PC for my sister who is very interested in gaming. At the moment she uses mine while I am at work, but she has finally gotten herself a job and wants to use her first pay cheque on parts for me to build her a PC. However, I am struggling to pick out a CPU. She will not be doing anything CPU intensive. No video editing, no CAD software, quite literally just web browsing and video games. As such, the majority of the budget will be going into the GPU, and we will be looking to spend as little as possible on everything else.
I don't want her to have to spend money on processing power that she is ultimately never going to use, but at the same time I don't want to cause a CPU bottleneck when she's playing high end games. What CPU would this wonderful community recommend for this situation?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
