APU Or GPU

[BethFoster5841]

so my friend is doing a new budget bulid he is thinking about going for the amd A8-7600 apu instead of a gpu is it a good option for this bulid 

[Alex Kovacs]

No.

[genexis_x]

Better wait for new generation APU. Otherwise get CPU+GPU

[BethFoster5841]

ok

the APU are a waste of money

 

the Intel cheapest CPU like the G4400 and a basic RX550 will do much better

[BethFoster5841]

ok how does this look the power supply is 50 AUD on newegg au.pcpartpicker.com/list/wFwyTH

[BethFoster5841]

is there a reason you picked the AMD FX  over Ryzen? and if you can tell us what will be the use of the build that would make it much easier to help

ok one i cant find a micro atx mobo that fits ryzen and that would set me about 300$ over my budget so yea

and 2 because i cant go with ryzen i picked the fx because of its six cores so yea

Fx is five years old. Better off with an ex-lease i7 or wait for the ryzen based apu coming soon

Ryzen and an mATX mobo is  only $130 over budget and so, so much better.

P.S. Ryzen is hyper-threaded if you didn't know so it has 8 threads, hell of a lot better than a straight 6c system

[Punchic]

How much do you really need 6 cores , i mean do you do alot content creation and so fourth?

Why not get a faster and newer 4c/8t CPU?  It should waay outperform a 6300

meh nvm

Do not buy an APU, and do NOT buy AM3+. A Pentium G4560 would be a wiser purchase than an FX-6300. The FX-6300 isn't really a 6 core CPU anyway. It would fall somewhere between 3 and 6 cores. Regardless, core count doesn't mean shit when the CPU itself is so slow.
