I’m building a gaming PC, to play games like Overwatch 2, Valorant, Genshin Impact, CoD, Battlefield, Death Stranding. All at great resolution, high FPS.

I wan’t to also stream on twitch,discord, and edit/render videos.

Is this CPU a good option in 2023?

    I have the B360 DS3H Gigabyte MOBO.

    The CPU comes with built in Graphics. Someone said I can buy a good GPU and be set.

    But what If I need to upgrade my CPU and MOBO later on? Do I have to buy one thats compatible with that GPU?

      Yes. It’ll play games now, and a good GPU will still play games when you upgrade the CPU/motherboard years down the road.

      But what If I need to upgrade my CPU and MOBO later on? Do I have to buy one thats compatible with that GPU?

      No, GPUs only need a PCIe 16x slot which is on every motherboard. It’ll work with any future upgrade.

      There are newer versions of PCIe coming out that are faster, but all of them use the same slot and are fully backwards compatible (both ways, newer PCIe on GPU works with older PCIe on motherboard, newer PCIe on motherboard works with older PCIe on GPU)

        So what’s the best GPU you can Recommended me for the MOBO+CPU i’m currently using.

        It needs to be strong enough that I can stream and I want minimum 60FPS on all those games I listed. Maybe even 120FPS?

        My budget for a GPU is $400
