Oh, for sure, CS:GO does lean on your CPU, but it's not like it's gonna max it out like some newer titles. It's well-optimized, so even if you're not rocking the latest and greatest in processor tech, you'll likely still have a smooth experience. Just make sure you've got a decent CPU and you're good to go.

Nah, CS:GO is more about skill than crazy high specs. Sure, it uses CPU, but as long as you're not trying to run it on a toaster from 2005, you should be fine. Focus on improving your aim and tactics, not your spending on hardware.

Honestly, it depends on your setup and what you're aiming for. If you're looking to play competitively with high FPS and settings, then yeah, a good CPU matters. But for casual play? Most mid-range CPUs will handle CS:GO without breaking a sweat.
