Intel Core i3-9100F Desktop Processor
- Perfect to get if you plan on using a dedicated graphics card and don't need or want to worry about overclocking.
- This is a "Turbo" CPU as well which saves you electricity when you're just doing low priority tasks.
- This is the best value for money you may find right at the moment in any CPUs.
- I really recommend this CPU over any 6-8 cores i5s and i7s as you will not see and feel the difference in any office, game application.
- The only negative is no quick sync is available for video transcoding.
Intel Core i5-9400F Desktop Processor
