Best cheap cpu

[Fluxcabury]

Hi does anyone know which cpu good for gaming, streaming and programming for a AM4 socket under £87 ???

[That_PC_Kid]

The cheapest CPU that can handle that is probably R5 2400G.

At that price point and on that socket you've only got one option I'm afraid and that's the R3 2200G.

Non-SMT will definitely lower performance while streaming.

He shouldn't be streaming with that kind of budget anyway unless he wants 10 FPS gameplay

Also, now that I think about it, The 2400G and 2600 are priced similar. You should honestly save up a little bit for the 2600 because the 2200G will be rough streaming.

The R5 2400G is more expensive, in an ideal world I would recommend the OP to raise the budget for a 2400G but I don't think this is possible in this case.

Considering your budget the only real option is the R3 2200G

Not good enough for proper streaming. OP should save up for the 2400G or the similarly priced 2600.

Either that or scratch the idea of streaming.

Yes, but money doesn't grow on trees. Budget always supersedes wants.

The 2600 has no integrated graphics and is also far over OP's budget.

 

They'll be able to stream with a 2200g, obviously not well- but its doable.

OP can just create a sinking fund for it. Rather simple really.

That is why I said 2400G or 2600. If OP has a GPU then they should go for the 2600. Also, I'm suggesting for the OP to save up for it. Don't want them to be disappointed then buy again.

I think everyone understands what you want the OP to do and I do agree that if the option is there to save up but remember we are looking at an £87 budget, I don't think it is possible for the OP to save up anymore I'm afraid.

Get the 1st gen for less money, like R3 1500 or R5 1600.
