You're looking for a current CPU that won't need updating soon, suitable for Minecraft, Roblox, Overwatch, and other games. Since you're new, aim for a mid-range option with solid performance and good value. A recent 12th or 13th generation processor would work well—like an Intel i5-13400K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. These offer strong gaming and multitasking capabilities without being too power-hungry.
You'll want to match this card with a Quadro k2200 from eBay. They support those titles well and the price is around $120.
I concur, the 5600G offers the best CPU with built-in graphics available today at a fairly affordable cost. It’s currently available for less than $300.
i mean thats a strategy you can go with, but do you really think GPU prices will ever be "low" again? Most likely prices wont go down to MSRP until the release of the next gen of GPUs, and they will have far higher MSRP, getting one will yet again be lottery. The cycle goes on and on since 2017, with only small breaks inbetween.
