Gaming PC Processor Guide | Choosing a CPU
Choose a gaming PC processor by workload, graphics target and platform rather than model name alone.
The CPU sets the platform, but it should not consume the budget needed by the rest of the system.
1
Check the games and non-gaming work you run.
2
Match the CPU to a compatible motherboard platform.
3
Balance CPU spend against the graphics card and monitor.
4
Think about cooling and power at the same time.
Configuration rule: exact compatibility, stock and final prices should be validated by the live WooCommerce configurator, not hard-coded into this static guide.
Use the guide with a real build
Once the requirement is clear, move to the bundle configurator. That lets you compare the current compatible choices instead of making a list from outdated or incompatible parts.
