If you are only playing with the igpu amd apus like the A10 are the best choice.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to do a CPU only build for gaming. This would be for my little brother.
After looking around cpuboss, I see that the AMD A10 7850K has the best integrated GPU, and after watching the video about low end GPU's, it got me wondering.

Could I make a cheap PC for my bro without paying for a GPU?
 

Would the AMD A10 7850K be the CPU of choice? Or is there a cheaper CPU that could fill the same role?
Games that would be played are League of Legends and osu!.


About my little bros setup.

I don't know the exact specs of it, but he currently games off a laptop. Price range at around $100?
All I noticed was that he was getting 10-15fps in League of Legends at lowest settings.

get the A10 but also get a discreet gpu (r7 240) which will use the performance of the inbuilt gpu in the cpu and the r7 240 will use its power effectively doubling your performance, but it depends what your brother will use the pc for
