so 2018 is here and there are some really good deals you can get on CPUs especially if you're buying used now when I do my use PC builds every month a lot of people tell me that they just don't simply like overclocking whether it be they don't have the patience or they just couldn't be bothered overclocking there are performance benefits to overclocking but this video is going to be focused on that person who just wants to get a CPU slap it in a motherboard and then start playing games so let's get on with the top 5 picks for 2018 or at least early 2018 for the used CPUs that are non overclockable welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming to you guys today and let's get on with that list they're coming in at number five is the III 1220 this comes in a $50 now you've got four cores 3.1 gigahertz and you've got Sandy Bridge architecture at least with the IPC so this will play well in popular multiplayer titles especially dota 2 csgo and even pop G now this is variant that is known as the i-5 2400 and the benefit of this CPU is that if you get a cheap om system a prebuilt like a HP or a dell optiplex for example you can take that a3 2120 out for example which is a very common cpu put this CPU straight in maybe even put in a gtx 1050 and you've got yourself a very decent gaming pc on a budget now coming in at number four is the w30 680 this is a xeon with 6 cores 12 threads and even though it is overclockable we're gonna ignore that today because even out of the box it comes in a three point three three gigahertz on 6 cores 12 threads now it is Westmere architecture so it is a little bit old but the IPC is still very good and we're seen with games they are starting to take advantage of more cause and more threads and so this cpu definitely gets fourth place and it comes in around $65 now the benefit of this WZ on is it will work on practically any x58 motherboard so yes you can go on Aliexpress grab yourself one of those one and motherboards which are very cheap put this cpu in and you will have a very cheap gaming PC not to mention one that will play games reasonably well especially if you're on a budget and coming in at number three is the ex 3470 I absolutely love this CPU you can get it for around about $40 and you've got four cores eight threads not to mention it'll work on very inexpensive LGA 1156 motherboards you can overclock this CPU of course and you will get really good benefits from doing that but of course even if you're not into overclocking you will get some extremely good performance this CPU especially for the money now you can couple this with some cheap ddr3 memory even if you're managing to find it now no ddr4 memory is super expensive and that's sort of trickling down to ddr3 but if you can get some good ddr3 memory especially out of a prebuilt for example then you can put this CPU in and especially switch it up for an i3 550 that's in there for example and you'll have some really good performance and also another good thing about this CPU and also the W 3680 is of course I know this is the non overclockers guide but if you wish to overclock in the future you want to learn on something and you sort of a little bit nervous to do it on brand new computer and something like this is a great learning curve especially this and number four so now coming in at number two is the e5 1270 v2 this is the Ivy Bridge architecture still very good to this date now you're getting four cos eight threads of non overclockable performance that's 3.5 gigahertz base clock but it also turbos all the way up to 3.9 gigahertz now if you get a good z77 motherboard you'll be able to put this CPU straight in and get 3.9 gigahertz on all course also with the CPU it will work on z68 and also even h61 motherboards I believe but you may need a BIOS update in order for the CPU to work properly it will have I do recommend getting a z77 or a b75 motherboard and this CPU will be extremely good value at a hundred and thirty dollars so it is the most expensive CPU on today's list but it is very relevant especially if you want something that it'll play really well in today's games utilize inexpensive ddr3 memory and also even utilize an inexpensive motherboard now coming in at number one for the non overclockers is the e5 26:40 this is 2.5 gigahertz on 6 cause however it does turbo up to 3 gigahertz and you will get 3 gigahertz on all 6 cores on most motherboards x79 motherboards you can get those cheap ones off of Aliexpress and they will work absolutely fine and even with that combination you can get ddr3 ECC registered memory which is extremely inexpensive it'll go well with this whole combination and make for a great CPU for gaming even in today's later titles you've got Sandy Bridge architecture which is of course a little bit dated but that IPC is still very strong especially in the latest titles games like pub G this CPU will have no problems getting 60fps practically at all times though if you do want to get something a little more aggressive than you can step it up to the higher variants but just keep in mind they do cost a lot more so $60 this CPU is definitely worth the money and you guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did - be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below do you agree with today's list of course when it comes to the CPU market there are just a lot of CPUs out there that are really good I mean if you are into deal hunting like I do once a month then you can get some really good one-off deals it'll eclipse this whole list I know that I've found in the past some really good one-off deals that are just such good value for money though this list is designed for those people who want to get into PC gaming they don't know how to overclock or they just don't want to and they still want good value for money and the CPUs are readily available and also on top of that I'll put the motherboard sockets right next to the links for the CPU so you guys know which motherboard you've got to get with that particular CPU anyway guys I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
