You're looking at choosing a CPU for your first PC build. You're considering the upcoming 3080 but aren't sure which processor to pair with it, aiming to stay under $300 while balancing performance and budget.

For gaming, opt for the Intel 10600K. For productivity, choose the Ryzen 3700X.

I’m comfortable with 1080p and 120fps, though achieving that in a cyberpunk setting might be tricky since it isn’t widely available.

At 1080p resolution, many believe the 3080 graphics card will frequently face limitations due to its CPU performance, regardless of having a 10900K processor.
