sorted byHigher resolutions place less stress on the CPU and more on the GPU. (edited)
i bought a artic freezer 34 cooler for about £35, all works great at 1440p, just need a better airflow case as the dreaded h510 looks great but its like an oven in there,
I know not a lot in it, but would have preferred to have bought paying with paypal.
Not sure about inflating the price though ....

also, seems to be 8 left in stock, so if you're going to purchase i'd hurry! (edited)
This handles anything we throw at it with ease.
Just invest in a decent GPU, to match this. I have a 3070ti and I can use all games at ultra settings.
A 5600G costs about £120 vs. over £200 for this Ryzen 3600 CPU (>£100 with a cooler) + GT1030 GDDR5 GPU (c. £100). (edited)
I'm always impressed by how many games work on the little 6 core vega GPU.
Roughly for performance a 5600G APU (c. £120) = 3600 CPU + GT1030 GDDR5 graphics card (over £200 in total). The 5600G is unbeatable value if it suits your use case. (edited)
