consider assembling a PC

[TheNajin]

hey guys, I plan to assemble a pc, mainly playing games and using adobe Softwares. any CPU recommendations？ （250$ to 400$）

[yui]

is you budget for only the CPU or for the whole PC? if it is only for the CPU and that you have no pre-existing hardware then the amd ryzen 5 3600 is the king right now for lightly threaded application (all of what you do fall in that category), if it is for the whole PC then i would go for a pc on the used market (HP/Dell from a company changing theirs would be pretty good for that) and upgrade graphics and ram

What choo'realy nee is a Colorimeter for monitor calibration.

Tp4 recommends i1disp pro, or colormunki disp

If this is for a whole system buy used, $400 can get you a pretty darn nice setup in the used market, especially if you build it.

If it's for CPU,  Yui has the right idea, I'd pair it with a last gen motherboard to save some money as well.
The only concern is if it has up-to-date bios to allow the newer cpu. you can always get a shop to flash it if need be. Some new boards can flash without a cpu. Also, try and make sure the ram (try and get 3200 or 3600 speed) is certified to work with that board or is from a top tier supplier as AMD can sometimes be fickle about it.

If you are going to use multiple adobe programs at once... get ATLEAST 16gb ram. I would recommend 32gb if you can.

Guys why are you posting serious replies,  did everyone else not see this is may be a bot-thread ?

Hence why Tp4 recommended a colorimeter when the bot asks for a Cpu

Even if it's not a bot thread, there are only like 2 CPUs for that price bracket worth buying, so the author might as well have not asked.

3900x or 3800x,   there are no alternatives.

Only thing I'll add at the moment is that if you're building primarily a gaming computer, come up with a total budget and/or decide on how much you want to spend on your GPU first, before anything else. Get the best GPU you care to pay for, and fit everything else into the puzzle that remains. The CPU and/or socket/motherboard should come next though, as most else that you will select will precipitate directly from these choices.

You don't need processors that are even half of the speed (in synthetic benchmarks) of the latest and greatest Ryzen CPUs to have playable frames at max settings with the right GPU.

i do not understand why a bot would ask for the best cpu for gaming  though and yeah the 3800/3900 are better, they are a bit overkill for what he describes wanting to do

Bots are designed to use natural language now,  they ask something to engage the audience, then another bot comes in with a link to pr0no.

Well, I somehow managed to make a new post quoting my previous one instead of fixing the mistake I had made in the old post. Sorry. I wish I could delete this.

The bot has clearly infected your wetworks neuro-net, or could be dat Korona.

most of the bot i see around here have 1 post, names with long number strings and do not wait multiple days to post their links, and have mostly seen "education" help things not the biology kind either.

I have a sudden urge to post about how I made $500,000 last month by quitting my job and joining a traveling circus, and how literally anybody can do it on the spot with 0 experience and no interviews if they just buy my $100 guide ... send help.

What' you've described is a real job,   Meth-Dealer.

They is makn' a killin' now that lockdown rules make it hard for people 2 get meth.

I read that Drone delivery is all time high.

That is depressing. We've got a major drug problem in Wisconsin, mostly heroine. We think my father was probably on the stuff at some point. We'll never know for sure.

It was most likely Fentanyl. Heroin is fashionable, but no longer preferred by dealers.  They've got very high tech drug mule submarines now.  Fentanyl being ~50-100x as strong as heroin pound for pound,  it's perfectly suited for the new drug subs.

Meth is of course still up there.

Sigh... if we could only get these young people to play Vidya instead.. sigh...
