If you are a budget gamer, would you accept a Celeron? (it does decently when paired with a GTX 1050 level GPU)

No, Pentium G4560 as a minimum.

yes in deed. however. a g4400 is still decent. and with the pricetag of 50 bucks, allmost everyone can afford that.

Have you guys actually seen the actual framerates and benchmarks? Or are you just talking opinions?

The fact that the G4560 is not that much more expensive combined with the fact that is has hyperthreading makes it a much more desirable option over any Celeron.

What framerates have you seen, averages? 99th percentile frameratres and frametimes are surely horrible on a Celeron, regardless of the GPU.

The Celeron line is simply too much of a bottleneck, and when you can get a more powerful Pentium for the same price, there isn't any question. A Celeron is just a bad decision. 

 

I think it's funny that you stuffed your opinion into the question. 

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

As far as I know, most celerons are dual cores and NONE feature hyperthreading. This causes a massive bottleneck, and I would agree with the other replies and either go with something like a g4560 and rather cheap out on a case or save up some more.

Come on guys, I'm not trying to compare it to a pentium. I'm just asking for your opinions on the Celeron. I know it's bad, but it CAN game.

Maybe it can, but it's not worth it, when you can buy a Pentium for just some bucks more...

Okay, I don't actually know if Crysis is CPU intensive

You're asking if the Celeron is good, and everyone is saying otherwise, yet you're pushing the idea that it's fine.

No, in fact, I know the celeron is bad. I'm actually researching on the budgets and standards of everyone else

If you can get the Celeron for free then use it, if you are buying then go Pentium with a B board.
