It's not going to be that good wait till R3 is out then it will be good

old OEM with an i7 2nd or 3rd gen, get a psu, ssd and a good gpu. 

[Dogmander25]

Ryzen 3, Ryzen 3, can do in the future. But what about now?

4GB of RAM is enough for a very basic word processing machine, but that's about it.

A lot of those take up most of his budget. So. Dno what you're thinking.

Nice way to move the goal posts. 

 

You just said AMD, meaning that anything that AMD has is trash, yet the entire PC community knows that Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 kick ass.

now you can compromise with dual core hyper-threaded, which is not recommended for newest games that started to use more than 4 cores... If you're hurry, get second handed parts like @nerdslayer1 said, otherwise you wont going to have good parts for that price.

I did. You took it out of context when you replied. He clearly meant that the OP couldn't get a $400 computer with an AMD CPU.

i... wha... dude. this is a thread about a guy wanting a $400 AMD PC... if he want a $400 PC, with an AMD CPU and GPU, its going to be shit. the best he could do would be an FX 8350 and maybe some lower end GPU thats not bottlenecked. the R5 chips eat almost the entire budget to begin with, and then you still need RAM, sotorage, a GPU and motherboard, which WILL NOT come under whatever you didnt spend on your CPU unless its basically shit teir. ofc R5 and R7 are good, i never claimed they were bad, i just said that in the context of the post if he uses any AMD CPU its going to turn out a shitty PC. look at the context next time maybe?

[Dogmander25]

Guys please do some research and don't think "Ryzen is better than FX and Apus and that FX and A-series cpus are total crap." DO SOME RESEARCH PLEASE.

At the moment no, but he should have said something along the lines that AMD currently does not have a CPU to fit inside the $400 price point

 

NOT saying that AMD has shitty CPUs.

you are takeing my every word here out of context. if you are un able to realize what that is then maybe learn to do so before you keep going on with your daily life, it really helps you know...

I did put single stick of 4gb in case OP wants to upgrade to 8gb. Getting a 8gb would go over budget by 6 dollars. 

 

I have an iGPu Pentium with 3gb ram and could run some old game and cs go at low with playable frame rate. But you got a point

I would suggest you to DO SOME RESEARCH YOURSELF because Ryzen is better than both the FX and the A series. It's muuuch faster in single cores, much more efficent and much cooler.
