Gaming performance
CPU-bound gaming score: a 1080p rating normalized so the fastest gaming CPU we track = 100. Productivity scores are in the Benchmarks section below.
Gaming scores are normalised performance indexes derived from Tom’s Hardware’s published CPU gaming benchmarks. Performance per dollar is our own calculation on top of that data.
1080p Gaming
The Ryzen 3 1300X scores 21.9 on our 0–100 CPU gaming scale, tested at 1080p where the processor, not the graphics card, sets the frame rate. At 1440p and 4K the gap between CPUs shrinks as the GPU takes over.

Complete the build
The cheapest in-stock parts that actually fit the Ryzen 3 1300X — matched on socket and power delivery using the same rules as our PC Builder, priced live.
The Ryzen 3 1300X's bundled Wraith Stealth can't keep up with its sustained power draw, so an aftermarket cooler is the safer buy. This is the cheapest air cooler in stock that fits AM4 and handles its heat.
