The Intel Core i3-13100F has a list price of just $137.50 (and on sale at $120.90) on Amazon, leaving you enough budget to purchase other parts and peripherals you need to get a working gaming PC.

Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K CPU is one step forward, one step back for PC gaming. Intel’s flagship Core Ultra 200S-series processor runs more efficiently, but PC gaming performance is disappointing.
