I'm gearing up to build my first PC and need some guidance on choosing the right CPU. I'm aiming for 1440p gaming without breaking the bank, ideally keeping my budget under $300. Does the graphics capability of the CPU matter for this setup?

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265k is getting some love lately, especially now that it's dropped to around $270. It offers solid performance, and the LGA 1851 motherboards have also become a lot more affordable, so it could be a great choice for your build!
Yeah, I can't believe the price drop! It’s surprising how Intel is making a strong comeback in the budget range, considering their past pricing. I remember thinking they were only worth buying at a killer discount, but clearly, it’s worth it now!
