[Sebastian23]

I wanted to ask if there are any other good and cpu's other than ryzen because anytime I try to make a build with fx or Athlon everyone says they are bad

Btw I mean if it's good for games

Budget? Might be worth going Intel instead of sticking to AMD y'know.

A Pentium G4560 + GTX 1050Ti would be my pick.

They say they're bad for a reason too  I'm just bias.

I used to be biased towards Intel, but after doing my research, Ryzen is a solid, affordable platform. They're more focused for PCs that need multiple cores for heavy work like editing, rendering etc. However, if you have a budget like that, and you mostly want to game, I'd go with a Pentium G4560 / i3-7100, paired with a GTX 1050 / GTX 1050 Ti. Not sure if you want the CPU for an upgrade or for a full build, but if it's a full build, cheap out on everything else except the PSU. I'd recommend an eVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W.
