A8-7600 Intel Equivalent

[Mantis_tankfist]

So,im planning on building a low-cost gaming performance PC,and i settled for an AMD A8-7600 SOC,because of the integrated graphics.

In the place I live,Potugal,an A8 is around 80€,and i wanted to know if theres an Intel processor,with the same or even better specs,around that price,since Intel seems to be better in the long run,and because i just saw the Linus tech Tips video "What CPU should I buy?" and they didnt made any mentions on that subject.

Try FX 6300, but more expensive

Do you have a particular generation in mind? Eg. i5-2500k, i5-3750k, i5-6600k etc.

But unless you want to go for an older generation, you won't be able to find a decent intel cpu for sub $70 that is a quad core.

Im looking for the one with the best performance to cost ratio.....

If you want better graphics the 7600 will have them, right now intel's igpus are catching up, but you would be looking at intel iris graphics if you want better gpu performance which would be way out of your budget.

 

As for cpu performance a pentium g4520 is the most comperable, with respect to multithreaded performance.

but the igpu performance is pretty bad.

If you plan on gaming at 1080p or higher though, I would highly recommend a gpu, even with fast dual channel ram, and heavily overclocked the a10 7890ks are really only meant for 720p medium settings, getting a rx 460, and a amd athlon 845 would be a better option.
