Gaming is still heavily reliant on single-threaded CPU power in terms of raw performance, but you can't just get a couple of speedy cores and hope they'll keep your graphics card fully fed. Despite the dominance of quad-core CPUs - or above - in today’s gaming rigs the difficulty of coding for multi-core processors has meant we’re still not seeing many modern game engines taking full advantage of the powerful CPUs many of us have in our machines.
You're also going to need a great GPU, so check out our pick of the best graphics cards you can actually buy.
But that could be set to change with an increased number of dedicated DirectX 12 (and to a similar extent, Vulkan) games offering a more streamlined method for delivering all that processing power into the hands of gamers. It’s been a long, slow march, but processor power may soon become a vital component of gaming performance once more. Though I have been saying that for the last ten years...
AMD have usurped the top spot for the best gaming CPU with their Ryzen 2 processors, but they still have fierce competition from Intel's Coffee Lake chips. Take a look below to find the processor that fits you best.
