Intel Pentium G4560

i5 2400/i7 2600 is a good choice

I got an i5 2400 for $55 and with some good shopping you can get a 2600 for around $100.

fx8300 will do just fine for budget 60hz gaming. You could also go for a Pentium G4560 or 4600 if you want something a little more current. If you can buy used, a used FX 8300/8350 platform with 8GB of RAM or more should be fairly cheap and relatively easy to find. Definitely your best bet if you're on a tight budget and looking to get into computer gaming.

 

But no, the fx 8300 isn't ACTUALLY "shit"... that is just information regurgitated by people who don't really know what they're talking about. Granted, its definitely not amazing or great or anything, but for the price it'll get the job done, and its larger core count than a similarly priced pentium/i3 makes it much better at some games and workstation tasks which can leverage this additional core count.

used. looks on eb=ay and craigslist

fx 8300 isn't bad, but It needs fast ram and some proper overclocking (not only clockspeed)

i7-2600k will be good deal for, it will perform ~like i5-7600k, the only problem is upgrade path.

2600k is still a beast.

And don't buy g4560 for that money, it will become outdated in year or so and handles multitasking very badly.

it also needs fast dual-channel ram (1866+mhz) as well as overclocked memory controller (cpu-nb) for handling fast ram. But it becomes beast in multi-threaded games like battlefield 1

That's exactly how I was thinking but here they said that it is shit ..

Here what I was going for :

AMD FX 8300

GIGABYTE 1050 to 4gb

MSI mobo

450w psu

Deepcool tesseract Sw red

and 4gb of ram cause in a month a friends

of mine will give a another one so I will have 8 gbs(the same one)

[boredatwork]

I am a noob at building, so can someone translate what you two just said ?

Don't bother with a dead platform.

it doesn't NEED any of that... I mean maybe a bit of a core clock OC if you want, but it'll get ~60fps in pretty much all titles, at the very least always above 30 (no choppiness).

There is nothing "shit" about that so long as you're paying a reasonable price for it. There is certainly better hardware on the market, but that PC will handle most games at sane settings just fine. You're not going to be maxing out the graphical quality on any AAA title games or running resolutions higher than 1080p (leastwise you shouldn't), but as far as functional PC gaming goes it'll handle pretty much anything you throw at it with relative ease.

Not worth it, a stock 2500k is only about on par with a G4560, 2500 is worse.

don't get a fx chip, a g4560 is much better and cheaper.

There's a guy in the Classifieds section selling them for $45 + $10 shipping (in the US).

It's just a box and fan so I don't know why you'd want to buy it...
