Is this the BEST CPU for Budget Gaming PCs? Intel Core i7 4770

The 1241 v3 is an $18 CPU, i paired it with a 1070 ti for my kiddo and he loves it!! We foind a nzxt Apollo case in orange at GOODWILL of all places, still in the box unscathed. I kinda wish i had jot bought a $15 dell motherboard because I had to do alot extra to get it to post without the "f1" errors.

Is there any way to make all cores boost to 3.9 GHz, but not set to a fixed frequency? I have 4771 on an MSI Z87 G43 board.

I have the 4770 and it plays most games you'd think of just pair it with a good gpu like a 1660 super or if your an a budget I recommend a rx 580 8GB

5900x owner, i built pc for my father e3 1246v3 (4770),surprise me,very snappy,good performance in most games,the only thing,if you do multitasking the cpu saturate fast,but very snappy on windows, and good for most of games this cpu came out 10 years ago,amazing

Can you OC it using just h81?

My pc shows random lines when i play fortnite is it bc of my cpu or what

would like to see how much gain from 3770.

Good Video!
I have a XEON 1240v3, a H81M-A and a RX 580 and it run really nice, but i might upgrade soon to a ryzen 3600 or a 5500 just for better emulation.

Nice👍👍👍👍👍👍🫵🫵🫵

This is the wrong video. You don't need to waste time with all this data. Anyone watching this stuff knows the chip is fine. The question is what it should cost. There are no bad parts, only had prices. I picked up a 4790(non-k) on an asus Z97, 16Gigs Ram and a GTX 980 for $110 shipped off ebay, of coarse that was a good option. If the entire build is $500... not soo great, this is entirely a question of price not performance

Something to note for viewers that maybe dont know about nvidia driver cpu overhead.
The 4770 or 4790 paired with an AMD gpu will perform much better than with similar range nvidia one.
It aint gonna compete with Ryzen 3 3300X or i3 12100f, the more modern 4 c 8t cpus, but when paired with an RX6600 or 5600XT you arent gonna miss out on much performance, as you would with a 3050 8GB or a 2060 6GB.
And never overpay for the quad cores. If its not real cheap jsut get a R5 3600 and a b450 mobo and ddr4 ram thats diret cheap now.

This is what i have, my hhd is failing so i went to micro center to see what i can do about getting my hhd replaced and windows 11 i was told that i could not run windows 11 so this cpu is 100% worthless today because you cant play on steam without windows11 now... Had i known i couldnt run 11 with this cpu i would have figured out something sooner now i am screwed until i save up the money to buy a new computer. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT best cpu for budget gaming the cpu is WORTHLESS!

I think a first gen ryzen will be the best choice for budget gamers,then you can always upgrade

Good, a better sound volume from your other vids 👍
Keep up the good work mate

Got the 4790k on a Asrock 97z with 32gb of memory the day it came out now 10 years later i am still using it with a RTX3060 and it still does well. Make sure you cool these old chips enough to be able to boost non stop (no overclocking needed). I play the new ARK ASA on it without problems.

Na the 4790k is far better

Not to be picky, but there is a great degree between great value and e-waste, and i would rather call it a decent one instead.

Problem with this older cpus that its high risk to die,i have it two and dies in three months

This is only good cpu if xou dont pay it more then 30$ just like mobo for it

My friend also has a 4770, it's still a good enough CPU for older titles and everyday use, obviously it won't run the latest AAA games smoothly but we've been playing on The Finals a couple of time and he tells me he's getting about 60fps.

Daily driving on a 3rd Gen myself and unable to quite afford the 6th Gen, I would consider the 4th gen to be the sweet spot of budget CPUs.

the xeon counterpart is much cheaper, but this will do

i had 1231v3 (4770 without iGpu) for the last 10 years and now I am replacing it with 7500f

1080p is more CPU intensive, you have shown that a cheap Ryzen 3600 with ddr4 ram will be far better option for not much more and better support for nvme drives

windows 11 will kill it unfortunately... I still got a 4790k on a msi z97 gaming 5 board with 16gb of ram gathering dust, it will prolly end up as a server..

Omg I just upgraded my gfs family’s unusably awful win 7 Pentium g3250 4gb ram hard drive pc to an i7 4770 1660ti 16gb ram and SSD so this vid is incredibly timely 😂 I noticed most that in general usage this cpu can save those old systems like file explorer internet browsing life changingly faster

Still one of my go to chips for budget gaming pc's

I use same cpu pair with 5500xt😮

Two of my PCs are based around Haswell Xeons, E3-1265L v3 (with a GTX 1660 Super) and E3-1285L v3 (with RTX 2060 Super). They work well with 1080p monitors. I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5 5600 as my main rig, with marginal uplift in performance. These are the CPU-Z reports:
R5-5600 - 610.7 / 4845.4
E3-1285L v3 - 364.8 / 1821.0
E3-1265L v3 - 352.6 / 1648.5

A Xeon with a 5 as the last number has graphics, for example. E3 1245v3 👍

You aren't really this bad at computers this is just all the hardware you have access to right?
