00:00Thinking about breathing new life into that old desktop PC?
00:03Well, you've come to the right place, because today we're counting down the top 5 budget
00:08LGA CPUs for old desktops that will get you up and running for the price of a coffee.
00:13I've been digging through the best deals online, and honestly, the value here is absolutely insane.
00:19Kicking things off at number 1, we have the Intel Core i3-2120.
00:24This is the little workhorse that could, running at 3.3GHz with 2 cores and a low 65W power draw
00:30on the LGA1155 socket.
00:33For just $8.37, and with over 4,200 units sold and a 4.9-star rating, this is a
00:40proven, reliable chip.
00:42If you're building a basic office PC or a home server, this is basically a no-brainer for the price.
00:49Next up, at number 2, is the Intel Core i3-4170 for the LGA1155 platform.
00:56Now, this is a big step up because even though it's a dual-core, it has quad-threading,
01:00meaning it handles multitasking much better than you'd expect, all while running at a snappy 3.7GHz.
01:06At just $8.79, you're getting a newer generation, lower power consumption at 54W,
01:13and a 4.8-star rating from over 4,000 buyers.
01:16It's perfect if you want to throw a cheap GPU in and do some light gaming.
01:21Coming in at number 3 is, well, the exact same Intel Core i3-4170.
01:27I know, I know, but hear me out, this specific listing has a slightly different batch,
01:31and it's priced at $10.32.
01:34It still offers that fantastic 3.7GHz speed and hyper-threading,
01:39but with nearly 4,000 sales and a 4.9-star rating, buyers report these chips arriving in excellent condition.
01:46If you want to pay a tiny bit extra for what might be a hand-picked unit, this is a
01:50solid alternative.
01:52Moving on to number 4, we're back to the LGA1155 socket with another Intel Core i3-2120 listing.
02:00This one is even cheaper, coming in at just $7.65.
02:05It has the same reliable 3.3GHz speed and 3MB of cache, but this listing has over 3,600 sales
02:12and a strong 4.8-star rating.
02:15Honestly, for under $8, you can't go wrong.
02:18It's ideal for reviving a dead office tower or a machine for the kids to do homework on.
02:23And finally, grabbing the number 5 spot, is the absolute budget king, the Intel Core i3-2100.
02:31This thing is only $3.99.
02:35Yes, you heard that right, under $4.
02:38It runs at 3.1GHz on LGA1155, and get this, it has a perfect 5-star rating from thousands of
02:45buyers.

02:51cheapest way to get your old desktop back online.
