No, the hard part is actually that first part — finding the parts your need for the budget you want to spend. There are a lot of options out there with hard-to-decipher specs if you’re not sure what you’re looking at.

Fret not, because here is one part down for you. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor may be a few years old at this point, but it still holds great performance and you should still have no trouble running most new releases without issue. Will you be playing the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in 4K at ultra settings with 300 frames per second? No. But you should still be able to play the game without any issue with some minor tweaking.

And if you’re mostly and indie gamer, you’ll unlikely feel any discernable difference.

Specs? Let’s Talk Specs

The CPU has a core count of eight, a thread count of 16, and base clock frequency of 3.8 GHz. With that, you won’t have a problem reach over 1000 frames per second in most AAA games. It’s unlocked for overclocking so you could feasibly boots it up to 4.7 GHz for even better performance in games and encoding high-resolution video for high-quality streams.

You can also install the AMD Ryzen Master utility to get real time access to temperatures, fan speeds, memory timings, core voltage, and CPU frequencies. You can even set up different profiles that are easy to switch between and optimized for the task at hand.

When the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor first released, it launched for $449. Right now, Amazon has it for just $166, save 63% and build yourself a perfectly serviceable gaming PC today. To be fair, it hasn’t seen that full price sticker for years, but it’s reduced price does fluctuate. As recent as July, it was going for over $200. So at $166, it is not a terrible budget option for starting your journey with PC gaming.
