All he has to do is some weight reduction. Then he can get out and push.

When people go out of their way to research and give me advice, I do my best to express gratitude. Since you didn't do that, and bought almost the opposite of what you said you initially wanted, you essentially wasted everyone's time without even being polite about it. So I can't blame them for the things they said.I agree, but so was the criticism for me going x299 and peple calling me a troll unfair.
OK...I'm not a troll. I asked around on a few other sites. I also asked others that play warband what kind of FPS others were getting with mods and bigger battle sizes. I found that a x299 and Thread ripper systems gave the best FPS.
The board was indeed free as it had bent pins, the previous owner had an i5 in the board and went to upgrade it to a i9 and bent the pins when taking the old CPU out of the socket.
I'm sorry, what? You bent the pins back in place on a board the supports an i5 and i9 (1151), and then somehow fit a 9800X (2066) into it? So which is it... was it an x299 or a Z390 or a 360? It's so hard to keep your story straight.After bending the pins back into place I found a good deal on a 9800x for $299 at my local micro center.
You didn't ask for something that "does what I want and then some".Basically I have about 350$ in the system by reusing the parts I had sitting around.
Specks are not the best, 9800x, 16gb ram, 2 780ti's, 512gb SSD. But it does what I want and then some.
You stated you wanted the best single-core performance for $195 for CPU + mobo.Anyway my budget for the CPU is around 120$ and around 75$ for a mATX or ITX motherboard.
M&B is not all to well made and it racks up one core to the point that even some less recent I7's can be bogged down once you mod it or up the battle size count.
Anyway given what my budget is what would you say is the best single threaded performance CPU?
I don't want to skimp there as everything else I do can be done on a rather old CPU. I don't need a good upgrade path as I intend to keep the pc untill it brakes nor do I intend to change my uses.
Nothing I do needs more then 2 cores. 99.9% of everythign I do only needs one core.
So based on all this you need the maximal single-core speed, period, bar-none. We gave a bunch of great recommendations. Then...The resin I was thinking of the 8350k and OC it was because even most i7s can't even play M&B with the max battle size once its unlocked I tried it on a 7900x wit the max battle size and it even ran slow on it. Even with a more respectable battle size the I used to have was just barley keeping up with some modules.
Great! So we proposed a lot of great Intel chips with top-tier single-core speeds.An update for everyone. I bought a msi z370 board for under my budget. This will give me an extra 15$ to go to the cpu
this was posted on anther site. the game I play M&B is extremely poorlymade and realy hits one core hard.
So yeah I really need something with max single core performance. The system is also striped out from the OS end so having more cores for background stuff is not really needed for me. I would never use more then 4 cores, I never have and I harder ever use more then 2. so getting a 6 core with slightly less single core perofmace is a BAD idea.
I'm sorry, again, WHAT?OK a update. I ran into some money and a x299 board. so I'm selling the z370 board I have and getting a 7800x.
Maybe it wasn't the site that was the troll pit. Maybe your communication was the problem.I asked this on another site, but it turned out to be a troll pit and I was chewed and and had to delete my account.
I'm seldom on the internet and sadly did not have time/remember to thank everyone here and If it was not for the free x299 board I got Id be likely be using a 9100F right now.
Yes, and this is the most interesting thing I saw.What a mess / waste of time this thread became. Not only did they waste a lot people's time here, they wasted a lot of people's time on multiple computer forums ([H], Toms, OCN). This is not counting whatever forum they claim they got ran off from. For not spending much time on the internet, I find it odd to create so many different accounts to post the same thing.
In this thread, they said they bought an Intel 8350k (yet they never mentioned that here on September 3rd when they posted about buying a Z370 motherboard): https://hardforum.com/threads/best-cpu-for-single-threaded-apps-on-my-budget.1985850/
It also looks like the OP nuked their account over at Tom's as well: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...aded-apps-on-my-budget.3517425/#post-21410436

I am not Columbo but I suspect the bent pins are a result of trying to fit a CPU from another socket into the motherboard. A one size fits all approach is certain to cause bent pins in any motherboard.Yes, and this is the most interesting thing I saw.
@ammuke said "You bent the pins back in place on a board the supports an i5 and i9 (1151), and then somehow fit a 9800X (2066) into it? So which is it... was it an x299 or a Z390 or a 360? It's so hard to keep your story straight. "
Then they nuke their own account here.
Then why did you reply to it???Since the OP deleted his account, I think re[lying to this thread is useless.
Let it die !!! (opinion, not mod direction)
I think we should coin an inside-term .. "Pulling a Danny"
everyone shakes their head .. "Well, he pulled a Danny"
A person should never look into a mirror and say "Danny Man" three times.He could live on in infamy, just like syringer.
I have XP on a dual x5675 Xeon setup. It only sees 4 of the 24 gig of ram, but plays any old games I want (1997 or so and newer)Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to install Windows 98 on any new hardware or even Windows XP for that matter? How can anyone play Pre-2000 games on any new hardware?
To give my opinion for OP's question, I would say you are better off getting a used old computer from ebay for that purpose.

Interesting! Where do you get drivers for all those onboard peripherals?I have XP on a dual x5675 Xeon setup. It only sees 4 of the 24 gig of ram, but plays any old games I want (1997 or so and newer)
