Hey everyone, looking for the cheapest CPU and motherboard combo that works well with a 1080 Ti gaming rig. I have two screens and could use one for lighter tasks like YouTube while gaming is on. No need to worry about bottlenecks for gaming alone.

You might use a tomahawk and a 1600Af, or for even less cost a gigabyte micro ATX A320 board.

r3600 paired with an x570 might be a more affordable option, possibly replacing the Tomahawk B540.

I’m not entirely sure if I got your question right, but I want to incorporate every part of it. I need to use all his performance, and I don’t mind the slight difference in FPS between CPUs in games.

No clear differences for gaming performance between X570 and B450. Both offer solid specs, but B450 may have better power efficiency.

For a 60fps target, you might use less powerful CPUs if the monitor supports only 60fps or has a very high resolution. This allows better performance on devices with lower-end processors while still matching the display refresh rate.

With the tomahawk you don’t need to perform a BIOS update, though it’s among the rare models that support one. However, the B570 includes an update and features PCIe 4.0.
