- CPU Round-up: $100 - $200 Intel and AMD Processors
Tested - In a nutshell, if you are looking to spend ~$200 on a CPU then we recommend the Core i5
750 without exception. At the half way point of $150 we
recommend either the Phenom II X4 925 or the Core i3 540 depending on
your needs, and as much as we like Intel’s offering here we
are leaning towards the Phenom II X4. Finally, at $100 it’s
all AMD and we feel the Phenom II X2 555 is the best option here.

fan running at 100% when you're gaming; honestly 82dB is loud. I mean -
it's really loud! ;)
