I'm looking into building my first budget gaming pc and thought it would be best to start with the processor. I would like something powerful enough that I can have a playlist or what not running int the background as I play preferably under or between the $50 to $75 range. Any suggestions?

Pentium G4560 with an RX 470 is probably where to start

but it's a really bad idea to buy just your CPU, save up your money and then wait to see what Ryzen offers as well, you should be able to get a fairly capable gaming PC with the AM4 APUs around $300 new
 

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
