Am about to build a friend their first ever gaming pc. Already had a socket 1150 m/b etc and a load of other stuff so got the i7 from ebay for £48 :) Very thankful for this vid, the i7 should work well with a sapphire nitro rx580 8gb & 16gb of ram. Gona be a damm good system for under £400 :D
5500 looks overclocked since the stock boost clocks are around 4250MHz. More importantly what I have found out is that with middle to low tier GPUs all modern processors perform similar +-10%! So buying high performance processor and anything worse than 3070 is throwing away money. This way one can build a really affordable and solid rig with 5500 which has only 10% worse performance than e.g. 5700X with middle tier GPU as 6650 XT.

*I Hate to say it but the difference won't show unless its from games from 2023 and onward so any games before 2023 will be 20% difference or less*
yo, can you please show ur full specs on both setups, thanks in advance
good comparison
i7 running on pcie 2 or pcie 3 ?
Thank you for the info.
Thank you very much

Pretty sure he's using PBO to reach 4,4 GHz
