    Depends on what kind of games you play. Economic strategy games (tycoons, city-builders, large scale simulation games) can easily bring even a modern CPU to it’s knees.

      yeah but a expensive mainboard does next to nothing to improve the performance. If you already got the best SKU on offer and want to overclock then yes but otherwise its nonsense.

      The motherboard doesn’t matter AMD’s 3D cache CPUs, which are king for these kinds of games. From what I’ve seen, you’d be crazy not to get either a 5700X3D or a 7800X3D with a cheap mobo.
