Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some older Xeon or Threadripper CPUs that I can grab at a budget-friendly price. I've heard they can perform similarly to newer models for certain tasks. I'm curious about what options are out there and where I can find them. Any suggestions on where to look or tips for using them, especially for a gaming PC?

Definitely look into what your total budget is for the whole build and consider the country you're in. Prices can really vary depending on where you are, but older server CPUs are often a steal for budget gaming!
It really depends on which CPUs you're looking for! Are you comparing them to current models? Let me know what you aim to do with the system, and I can help you better. One suggestion is to check out eBay for used CPUs; they have buyer protection which is a plus.
You mentioned needing something for basic playable GTA 5—that's doable! Just make sure the CPU can handle it. I'd also love to know your budget and where you're located since that can affect your options.
