A central processing unit (CPU) is the brain of your computer. Whether you’re after a gaming CPU, multimedia CPU or a cheap CPU, MSY has a processor to meet your budget and computing needs.
CPUs do a lot of the legwork for your desktop PC. You can choose the cheapest CPU from Intel, mid-range picks from AMD and Intel, or go all out with the highest-performance Intel and AMD CPUs.
If you’re building a budget PC desktop, you can save money with a cheap CPU. There’s a range of Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium and Intel Core i3 CPUs for a cheap custom or prebuilt desktop PC.
The AMD Ryzen 5 and Intel Core i5 CPU ranges are a great mix of price and performance. Consider these CPUs if you want a 1080p gaming PC or a multimedia desktop that can easily keep up with your computing needs.
Intel Core i7 and AMD Ryzen 7 are the starting points for a high-end PC CPU. Expect more CPU cores, a higher thread count, and plenty of GHz of speed at this price point for top-of-the-line PC gaming and no-compromise everyday computing.
What you want to do with your desktop PC will determine which CPU is best for you. MSY has CPUs for work, study, everyday computing, gaming, graphic design and video editing. Once you pick your CPU, pair it with other compatible computer parts to complete your PC build.
Whether you’re studying, working from home, or playing around, there’s a range of CPU options for everyday computing. Save money with a cheaper, energy-efficient CPU. Or invest more in a CPU that’s faster to start up and offers better overall performance.
Fast graphics cards may be critical for PC gaming these days, but CPUs are becoming more and more important. Maximise your frames and fidelity with a mid-tier or high-end AMD or Intel CPU.
If you’re designing, creating digital animations or interested in video editing, a powerful CPU is a must-have. Invest in a high-performance CPU from MSY that works faster so you spend less time waiting and more time doing.
Here are MSY’s answers for the most pressing questions about desktop CPUs.
A CPU is the brain of any computer. The more cores and threads it has, and the bigger the number before GHz, the faster the PC performance.
Processor is just another term for CPU, and it’s part of the fully spelt-out acronym: central processing unit. Whichever term you use, you’ll be buying either an Intel CPU or AMD processor.
One of the core components of a computer, the CPU is responsible for performing complex operating system and software processes (including games) in milliseconds. The better the processor, the faster it is at performing complex tasks.
Both a processor and system memory are critical parts of a computer. CPUs tend to cost more than RAM, and the more high-end the part, the better the performance.
Computers only have one CPU, but modern processors have multiple cores and threads. The more cores and threads a CPU has, the better it will likely be at performing demanding computing tasks.
Generally speaking, physical CPU cores offer more performance than CPU threads. If you want more performance and better multitasking, choose a CPU that has eight or more cores and fast clock speeds (measured in GHz).
