What processor should I get for playing games? My budget is 450

If it is 450 for the whole computer then you'll probably want a celeron or an amd 4/6 core.
If it's $400 for the cpu alone get a 6800k

Yeah, 450 for the cpu alone

Get whatever Intel Unlocked CPU is at that price-point then.

Then the i7 6800k is the best cpu available for gaming. It has an unlocked multiplier, 6 cores, and 12 threads. You shouldn't have to worry about upgrading for quite a while

I would also like to know this same thing except my budget is 200 USD.

i5 6600 is what I have. Great if you don't want to overclock and around that price. The 6600k is the overclock one and usually more money. The 6600 uses less power at base clock.

get a 6600K for gaming

it's the last version to support Windows 7, so go with Skylake

No game uses more than 4 cores and HyperThreading is a meme than provides almost no benefits for about a $100 price tag

When will you faggots just accept DX12 is here

>>56185170
i7 5820k

After Zen comes out 8 cores will be the norm, and games will use them.

what's your budget for the whole build? motherboard price needs to be taken into account too

also, where are you from? prices vary from country to country
