[SOLVED] Intel i3-10100F vs i3-10100

[Zhoula]

Hello,
I'm planning to build a low budget gaming computer and I'm confused by the difference between these two processors. In short, I'd like to ask which of the two is better since there is a significant 25$ difference in price.

Here are the other specs for my PC:
1650 super
2x8GB 2666Mhz RAM
500W PSU
(Perhaps if any of these are swappable for cheaper components, do suggest some!)

Oh and here are the games I'm planning to play:
CS:GO
Apex
Valorant
R6S

Thanks!

well, they are the same processor.
The F has it's integrated gpu fused off.
If you never intend to use it, and don't care about being able to maybe diagnose stuff in the future, you can go with the F

They are the same cpu though in the end.

I see, thank you!
