What budget cpu is out there for a gaming PC Build?

yes, a case with good airflow is much needed, and full size ATX. And if your cpu doesnt have an iGPU, you will need a graphics card from the start

this is gonna sound very gay, but go on r/buildapc on reddit and they can help alot. give those fags a price and they will come up with many builds

You're so misinformed it hurts.

>AMD ryzen 2400g igpu
>don’t get too hung up on mobo specs in the budget range
>8GB ram (whatever’s cheapest over 3000mhz) - Probably look to quickly buy 2 8GB sticks
>cheapest, well reviewed SSD
>bronze tier power supply
>any case you can affford/looks nice
>buy graphics card later once you have computer that works for school. 2400g will play most games low res for now

If you don't mind an 1150 socket I'd go with a 4790k its last gen but can hold it's own with most games. With 32gb of ram and a gtx1080ti mine runs any game I've thrown at it on max settings. Had to overclock a little for fallout VR

Now that I think about it. Will the list I provided even support VR?

Probably gonna gain a lot of flack for this, but some of the older xeons can be beasts if over clocked. The 56xx line is 6 core 12 thread but doesn't leave much if at all for upgradability, and the x58 boards are batshit insanely expensive.

B450 Mortar was my pick last time I shopped, though I wasn't building for gaming, just a solid desktop with one GPU slot. Also seems to me that a Ryzen 7 2700 is worth it, but that getting the X version for overclocking isn't.
