Ryzen 5 2400g

[Zzzzz69]

Hey, after months of researching for the best budget build, none of the builds made it to my budget. They all went far too out. I really want to play cs go at low settings over 150fps, so I found out about the 2400g and yes it can indeed play the game with no sweat. I just want to know your thoughts about the Apu. Thank you

It's a decent chip. I don't have much to say on the Ryzen APUs, although they certainly are an improvement over the last generation's A-series.

 

The really nice thing is that the iGPU on the Ryzen APUs is powerful enough that you're not pressured to get a dGPU terribly soon. If I didn't already have a GPU when I built my system, I probably would have gone with the 2400G.

Just make sure you get fast memory with it. DDR4-3000 or 3200 is highly recommended. The APU relies on that memory speed. Also get a kit consisting of 2 modules.

Use the 2200g instead, much better performance per dollar. You'd want a 6 core as your future upgrade if you need one, so not like the 2400g will last any longer

Okay bro. So 2200g + higher ram speed. Thank you!

It really depends on your budget and country's sales/pricing. In the US the 2400g usually ends up in a $500 build, where $600 prebuilts offer more than double the performance.

For something like CS:GO, you have to fiddle with your hardware settings. It's really sensitive to little things, so you can get those numbers up a bit. Main thing would be to spend time OC'ing and getting the timings tight on the RAM. Put an OC on the GPU (not really the CPU) on the 2200G. Even if you need to drop to 2666 to get ultra-tight RAM timings, it'll likely show up in CS:GO as an FPS increase.

I live in the Philippines. It's quite expensive here )): 

[Zzzzz69]

I found out that fps drops on apu's are really noticeable, even if it's already on low settings. So I found a cheap bundle of a Mobo and cpu, which is the msi z170a krait gaming 3x and Pentium g4600 at around 8k PHP which is $150+ . I will go for an g4600 and 1050 ti build. My current budget for everything is 40k PHP which is $700+. Due to the 3rd world country shiz, parts here are quite expensive ))): so sad. I wish I was on another country. Anyways thank you for all the suggestions and opinions! <3

That build should play CS:GO just fine.
