Core i3-10100

If you’re on a budget, this chip is a steal. It’s a highly capable chip for the suggested price, packing four cores and eight threads with a base speed of 3.60GHz and a maximum single-core boost of 4.30GHz. Pair it with a budget graphics card and a decent LGA 1200-compatible motherboard, and you have the makings for a solid entry-level gaming PC.
