It all depends on your expectations.

I expect it will be good to run games (scum pubg bf warzone maybe cyberpunk etc). budget for a new processor max €200

by OP. I meant "opening post". Was simply referring to your post, which is the first post of this thread.

oh, I see now. Those games don't really need much. They would even run well with certain 4th gen intel cpu's.

an i7-9700 cpu should be good. Just be sure to buy a proper gpu as well.

get 9700kf or k

that's what you meant.
I currently have a 4th generation cpu and it's not really playable (it's an i5 4690k 4.4).
but is it worth going from i5 4690k to i7 9700 or is it better to go for something stronger like i5 12400f r5 5600 etc.
I have gpu gtx 1070ti

another important question.. what is your monitor? 1080p or are you using 4k?

a 4th gen is the minimum requirement for PUBG.
but if you want to play the game competitively. Then you need to buy a fast 9th gen cpu. Or better, get a 10th gen or higher, if your budget can afford it.

asrock z97m anniversary
1080p 60hz
the biggest problem is if I play pubg, scum etc in the background I can't do anything (talk on discord etc)

Just remember if you go for any of the processors mentioned then you will also need a new motherboard and new Ram. You may be aware of this but I haven't seen it mentioned as part of the budget

I would look at a B660m or B760M + i5 12400F + DDR4 3200

or ...

B550m + Ryzen 5 5600 + DDR4 3200

thank you for your help. I put together the build, so we'll see if it works.

Cool no worries then. Just thought it was worth mentioning as not everyone is aware.

As mentioned above I would recommend something like a 5600 / B550 / DDR4 or 12400 / B660 / DDR4 combo then.

thanks for mentioning that. thanks for your help. I will most likely take the i5 12400f because yt and the internet say that it is better if they are not lying.

 

[Avro Arrow]

is it this good cpu i7 9700f fir gaming in 2023

It really depends on the game and what you want from it. If you're playing games like Fortnite, CS:GO, Overwatch or PUBG, it'll be more than fine. If you want to play Hogwarts Legacy, maybe not.

means nothing lower than i7 10700k r5 5600x, so towards more powerful

and I want a cpu that can run AAA games

and is it worth getting a used cpu mob ram from a site like ebay

if i may ask you
what about the i7 10700k, is it good?

Then you'd want an R5-5600. It's about the same performance as an R5-5600X, R7-5700X and R7-5800X. It's also less expensive.

and is it worth getting a used cpu mob ram from a site like ebay

I would say no. If you want to play modern AAA titles, you should always buy new. Besides, AM4 has become dirt cheap lately:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 - $138
Motherboard: ASRock B550M-HDV - $80
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200 - $40 (if needed)

So, with a modern gaming CPU, motherboard and RAM costing only $258 brand-new, just how much do you think that you could save from buying used parts from eBay? Probably very little, if anything. Plus you won't have warranties and if you buy older parts, you'll have inferior performance. This is your best bet.
