I'm planning to build a new PC primarily for playing CS2 and want to achieve at least an average of 250 FPS during gameplay. I usually play in 4:3 at 1440x1080 resolution with low settings. I'm considering using an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with a 4060 Ti. How do you think this setup will perform? Also, I'm curious if there are alternative CPUs that might be better for this purpose, especially since there aren't many GPU options available in my country.

Honestly, if you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, you might want to consider the Ryzen 7600X. It's comparable in gaming performance to the 7900X but cheaper, plus you won't need all those extra cores just for gaming.
Check out these AMD CPUs available in various shops:
- Ryzen 5 7500F
- Ryzen 5 9600X
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Ryzen 7 7700
- Ryzen 7 9700X
- Ryzen 9 7950X
- Ryzen 9 9900X
- Ryzen 9 7900X
If you’re thinking long-term, the 7800X3D is a solid investment if the budget allows, but the 9600X is a great pick for saving money without sacrificing too much performance. Both should hit 250+ FPS combined with a midrange GPU easily.
Your setup sounds great for CS2! I actually get around 250 FPS with a 12400F and an older 2070. The Ryzen 9 7900X and 4060 Ti should easily exceed that, especially since you're playing on low settings.
I recommend looking at the Ryzen 5 9600X or 7500F. You’ll get solid performance for gaming, and you can save some cash. The 9600X, in particular, would work well for you. Both can push past 250 FPS in CS2 with a good GPU.
So the 9600X would be a good choice? How does it stack up in terms of performance for CS2?
Yeah, I've heard CS2 is mostly CPU-dependent, and updates can occasionally affect performance. So even if your GPU is solid, having a good CPU is crucial!
