hello guys,first of all sorry for my English.

so one of my friends asked me to build him the cheapest pc that he would be able to game on.

so i am going to use older cpu and low end gpu.

i have 2 choices and i am unsure what should i choose:

amd A10-5800K APU

or amd fx 6300

both of them are from 2012 one with 6 cores one with 4,base clock is a bit higher on a10....

i am planing to use a dedicated gpu(amd rx 560 or 460 or my r7 260 to save even more)

which one should i choose?

thanks in advance.

my current home setup:cpu:amd ryzen 2700 // cpu cooler :aigo 120mm aio // mobo:gigabyte ab350-gaming 3 // ram:crosair vengance 8*4 // gpu:amd rx 5700 //

tower:antec p8 // psu:antec HCG 650w.

my current work setup: cpu:intel xeon x5675 // cpu cooler :generic 6 copper pipe // mobo: x58 lga 1366 chines motherboard // ram: 32GB ecc // gpu:amd r7 260x //                    

psu:antec 550w.

FX 6300 is better, but none are good.

 

Can you get the similar price i5 2400 or i5 3470? They would be a lot better.
