Price is clearly an issue if the newest CPU you're looking at is 7 years old.
The i7-6700 is going to be your best bet I'd say. That being said, it's also presumably the most expensive option, so what would you give up on the GPU front?
A wireless adapter costs $20-$30.

Great thanks. And which video card would you recommend from the 3 options available?

Yes i'm looking at older rig due to playing lots of classic games (2008-2010) these days. New CPU's tend to have issues w/ older games from what i've read, but i'm no expert.

Ehhhhh. Intel 12th gen (and Windows 11) had a rocky start with their hybrid core layout/structure. Besides that, I would generally disagree with your statement.

OK fair enough. Like I said, i am no expert.

I've just read lots of threads that start w/ "i have a high-end PC why am I getting 20 fps on this game from 2008" and so on. And the responses tend to be essentially that these old games aren't compatible w/ the latest CPUs.

And that's the scenario I am trying to avoid.
