I’m building a gaming PC, to play games like Overwatch 2, Valorant, Genshin Impact, CoD, Battlefield, Death Stranding. All at great resolution, high FPS.

I wan’t to also stream on twitch,discord, and edit/render videos.

Is this CPU a good option in 2023?

    My 8700K (with a 1080 at the time) was already struggling to hold 60 FPS in Black Ops Cold War at 1440p medium to low settings.

    Unless you’re on a tight budget you should get a more modern CPU and absolutely do not buy an 8700 new, my K version new goes for the same price as a 12th gen that would kick its ass, the prices for older gens don’t seem to be adjusting as newer models come out
