Top 6 New & Used CPUs, The Best VALUE Buys in Late 2018!

2018-09-07
so you may be in the market for a new CPU you might be into gaming you might be into video editing or you might be into other things we're not gonna talk about those other things but what we have here is a list of six different CPUs in no particular order because they're all really good value for money it just depends on your budget and who you are as an individual now another thing as well in this list is only CPUs that are readily available to buy right now I'm not talking about one-time deals that I usually get in bargain hunts like these but with that aside to get your thick wallet ready because after this video it's still going to remain so here we are with the list it's going to be new and used because they both represent pretty good value at the moment you can go new if you want to get the warranty and you want to get in straight away no questions asked you've got the used if you want to save money get better value for money in my opinion especially with the prices of ddr4 memory though coming in at number six is the i5 8400 and I will reiterate no particular order with the numbering it's just I'm listening six CPUs but we have the CPU coming in at a hundred and eighty US dollars 6 cores 6 threads latest IPC from Intel very efficient CPU also comes with a cooler you can mount this on a haitch 310 motherboard which comes in for around 50 dollars as well bringing some incredible value for money ddr4 memory not too overpriced at the moment managed to find 2 4 gigabyte sticks for $75 so this whole combo is a pretty good bare-bones kit and now another thing is I will mention you might want to get your stuff now because when the r-tx 2006 the market you don't know what pricing will happen especially when those mid-range cards hit like the 2060 do you want to be one who's overpaying for your ddr4 memory your motherboard your CPU then what you can buy it now and then wait for those graphics cards to hit because the CPUs aren't generally getting better as we've seen this over the last few years IPC hasn't really improved and they don't really affect gaming too much at 1080p high settings at the very least or even 1440 people that aside number 5 horizon 520 600 for all those AMD circle jerkers out there of course I'm going to put an AMD CPU on the list this one coming in at a hundred and sixty-five dollars includes a pretty decent cooler as well good thing is you can get an a320 motherboard that does support the 2000 series CPUs now this is important if you're going with an a320 option you do want to get a motherboard that make sure it's 2000 series ready I'll do it you're gonna get headaches might want to go for a be 450 motherboard put some extra links in the description below anyway but this CPU with this motherboard at this price point is phenomenal value for money again ddr4 memory if you're on a budget just get an 8 gigabyte kit for now for 75 bucks and you can call it a day but the potential versus the i-5 8400 sort of different strokes for different folks Rison 5 2600 more suited if you want to do a bit of video editing on that extra performance when it comes to workstation productivity but you know 580 400 I think's a better buy for just straight gaming but also streaming as well because you can take advantage now of that onboard HD graphics with Intel Quick Sync which a lot of streaming software does now support and that will take a big burden off your cpu and now we're moving into number four we're starting to get closer to that uncharted territory the place where no one else dare goes but we'll start off with an i7 we've got four quarts eight threads on this i7 3770 it's coming in at around a hundred and ten dollars shipped to your door because you can get four dollars off with a coupon that's pretty good value right there now h61 motherboard $40 you can pick these up so cheap of course ddr3 memory you can generally get this locally pretty cheap or even source it online much cheaper than you otherwise could with ddr4 memory so this is a benefit of going used you can be saving money on a few different fronts and of course if you don't live in the US and you can't get those prices then this is worldwide shipping so if you're in a remote area in the world and you don't have a computer store that's giving out good prices then this is one option to consider and it's got the i7 moniker as well which is great for resale value and here we are finally at number three but we're starting to move on into the Xeon territory some of the best value for money money can buy a5 2690 is gone for a hundred and nineteen dollars shipped to your door eight core 16 threads and they will boost up to three point three gigahertz on all cause we've got a massive amount of level three cache as well but you will need an ex 79 motherboard and I do recommend getting a decent one not one of the WAN and boards that go for 80 bucks if you're gonna go with the one board at least get the real top-of-the-line one for a hundred and twenty dollars plus but seriously if you're a video editor on a budget the zealand's do support ECC registered memory and this is a big benefit of this combo in particular video editing with lots of memory you can save a lot of money going with this eight core Xeon 16 threads coupled with an ex 79 motherboard some ECC register memory and you'll be having happy days of course when it comes to gaming this CPU is no slouch it will perform really well does have the Sandy Bridge IPC which is still pretty relevant in today's titles and coming in at number two is the ex 3470 these Zeon's I love them $27 for cause eight threads and the good news here is that the motherboards as well age 55 and p55 motherboards are dirt cheap you can get them for around $50 shipped to your door not to mention they readily available when it comes to deals hunting I saw one of these boards going for like 10 dollars locally I just didn't have a chance to grab one of course ddr3 memory being cheaper than ddr4 memory you've got that benefit as well and these Zeon's are overclockable too so if you're into tinkering and I've got guides here on the channel you can get a lot of performance on a budget possibly making this CPU the best value for money if you know how to overclock up to of course mid-range graphics cards like GTX 10 60s after that you may experience some bottlenecks depending on the game and coming in at number 1 here is the e3 1270 Xeon chip aka the i7 2600 coming in at 75 dollars the i7 variant will cost you over $100 so there's an automatic like $30 savings and you haven't had to do anything now the motherboards of course as we mentioned before h61 motherboards going for around $40 ddr3 memory cheap as well ddr4 memory is overpriced so that makes the ddr3 option a great play now will state this with a lot of the CPUs on the list I think the Rison 5 2600 and also the x34 70 there were the only CPUs that are overclockable here on this list and the reason why I didn't put a whole lot of overclockable CPUs in the list is because I've been selling quite a few pcs and a lot of people don't know what a boss is let alone how to overclock and what even overclocking is and so I'm guessing that besides the loyal tech yes citizens and I love you guys you guys are really open-minded enthusiastic about tech but besides that the person who randomly stumbles on this video and they just don't know what overclocking is this is a list that's pretty solid I mean the risin 5 2600 if you've got to be 450 motherboard and also the X 30 470 there overclockable but even if you don't overclock them you're still going to get good performance hence why they made the list head of day now a CPU that I didn't mention before getting on out of here that does deserve a worthy mention is of course the x50 675 you pick these Zeon's up for $30 but the problem is is that x58 motherboards are really starved at the moment as soon as they come up for a good price I know there's always people snapping them so they're more like rare in terms of actually sourcing them there's not x58 multiples that are readily available and the ones are are really overpriced so that didn't really make the list here today what I wanted to look for was CPUs that are readily available with motherboards as well and you can get them for a pretty good price anyway with that aside I hope you enjoyed today's list here today if you did then be sure to hit that like button if you have any questions or comments about this list or you want to add some CPUs of your own then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below now I'm sure there's people gonna say where's the old-school AMD CPUs like the FX CPUs and the Phenom z-- they're overpriced especially when you compare them to the Zeon's you're getting ripped off if you go that route I mean one-time deals again that's different to this today's list but if you go with an old FX 8350 for a hundred bucks why would you do that to yourself you're just wasting money same with a phenom for 50 bucks that's ddr2 we're going way back in time back to the future except in a bad way that Mahdi dies why would you do that to yourself anyway all the links for the CPUs motherboards memory that I've mentioned here will be in the description below also big thank you for reaching 300k subscribers I love each and every one of you that a click that sub button and if you haven't clicked that sub button already then why not hit the bell notification as well to get these videos as soon as they come out
