The i3 10th generation and newer models perform adequately for gaming.
Hey there, builders! You're looking to set up a super low-cost build. Right now you have: Asus TUF GTX1660 ($160), ASUS TUF Gaming B560m LGA1200 board ($179), Kingston 1TB KC3000 NVMe SSD ($130), and a Cooler Master MasterBox TD300 ARGB mini tower ($105). You're also planning to run the Intel i3 10105f. For basic games like Old Resident Evil, GTA IV, San Andreas, and emulators, plus some video editing with Cyberlink PowerDirector and Music Editing, will the i3 be sufficient?
there are many more titles available, such as the latest harry potter release, but thank you for the confirmation
The i3-10105f faces challenges in the new Harry Potter game unfortunately. With an i5-10400F you’d perform much better. It offers 4 cores versus the 6 cores and 12 threads of the latter. Still, as a cost-effective choice, the i3-10105f performs adequately. The lowest required CPU for Hogwarts Legacy is the i5-6600, which is outdated and only has 4 cores.
The upcoming Harry Potter title will pose challenges for both the 10105F and 1660 models. For smoother performance, you might manage with 1080p low to medium resolution if you're comfortable at 60fps. Adding FSR could also be necessary. The 32GB of RAM will assist, but the CPU and GPU remain crucial. Hogwarts Legacy demands intense processing power—almost every game becomes demanding.
