Hello!
I've been looking at processors around the $200 range. I don't run any programs beyond games, and I have minimal usage on Windows 10; Steam, HWMonitor, Discord. I try to keep the OS clean. The processor would be paired with a GTX 970.
Based on my research on processors in this price range, and after reading numerous posts in this forum, the 7500 or 1500x seem to be the best in this class (sub-$200) for 1080p 60 FPS gaming (most games). I do not plan on overclocking. I did notice the Ryzen 5 1600 is $199.
Is this an accurate interpretation of the current market? Or should I step up the processor?
Thanks!
