Low Budget CPU

I wouldn't say a 750ti is shit, it does the job and it's cheap. Anyway, this thread is not about finding a GPU. That comes later.

What's the cost of something from the A8 or A10 range for you? They will be better than anything from the A4 and A6 range by far as they have 2 module/4 core and at a bare minimum will work as a dual core in some programs and games.

Well, the A8-7600 is 65$ on amazon right now. How does that compare to the g4560?

The G4560 is far more powerful.

The Pentium is better by far than anything from AMD's APU line up. The iGPU of course isn't as good, but it would be fine for quite a while until you get a graphics card. It actually has very similar performance to an i3.

Then that's the one i'll buy. I'll need a cheap 1151 Motherboard, is this one any good?  https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1489955502&sr=1-2&keywords=1151+motherboard

It should be-pretty much all LGA1151 motherboards would work the same, so just choose one that fits your budget while providing what you need. You can skimp on it unlike most of the other components.

That's still 60$, + the motherboard. Is it that much better than a A4-7300?. 

Well to my knowledge an A4 is dual core with integrated graphics. I actually had an A6 with integrated graphics on the same board as the X4 previously. The X4 is quad core and so much more powerful. I run games at about 3 times the framerate and that's at higher settings than before.

I suggest you go with i3 530. Comes with a basic 2.93Ghz but I easily overclocked it to 3.9Ghz.

It has hyperthreading too. A really good CPU for the money.

I can easily play GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege,Doom without any bottlenecks and get 50-60 FPS at medium Settings.

I have a Nvidia Gt730 2GB DDR5

If you're willing to pay for a dedicated GPU then the Athlon X4 860K isn't a bad bet for about $60. It's a quad core from AMD and although it's a few years old it's a killer for price to performance. I wouldn't recommend anything better than a GTX 960 to pair with it as you'll start to bottleneck any higher. I have this pairing and I can play most games at 60 FPS with Medium to High Settings. Rise of the Tomb Raider runs really well with only big dips when there's a lot of bushes.

i used to recommend this chip for low end, but so many complaints, the X4 860K is garbage, even for the price

 

my little bro paired a 1060 with an X4 860K and it bottlenecked worse than anything ive seen before, cpu at 100% and GPU at about 25%, is it much better on the 960 ?

Lots on graphicaly demanding games the 960 gets up to high 90% sometimes. The cpu is up close to 100% but the 960 is similar to the 1050 whereas 1060 is more 970 territory

that makes sense, but having a CPU hit almost full capacity during gaming just sucks in general

True but if your budget is low but you like triple A games it's an evil you have to deal with. The Athlon is even a decent overclocker, I can get it up to 4.4GHz from 3.7GHz using a Hyper 103 and get temps no higher than about 60 when playing heavy games.

So, i should get the g4560 or the Athlon?.

If youre on a really thight budget get an old xeon processor or a core 2 quad.

 

Hotel? Trivago.

The G4560 is better by far:

Whether it be in gaming or productivity/office work.

I'd say it depends on MB cost and whether or not you can afford a GPU
