Pentium G4560

Does Pentium G4560 still the budget king for gamer?

budget king is whatever you can find for the cheapest cost and best performance

i got my i5 4570 in a combo on a z87 mitx board for 100$ with a corsair H60i

thats the budget king

 

i wouldnt recommend buying one in 2018 though unless its really cheap used and thats all you need

and if all you need is a basic dual core, older pentium G's like haswell refresh g3260's are super cheap and still perform just fine for their price

Consider buying new one

I'd save up for a Ryzen 3 1200. A G4560 bottlenecks anything north of a 1050ti and there's constant stuttering in more demanding games.

There is no point if the r3 1200 when the 2200G exists.

its a bit faster (1300X speeds) and has a igpu to boot.

i would gree with this i had i3 6100 when i got my 1060 6gb and even though games were playable stuttering was present, get a r 1200 with a good b350 board oc it to 3.8 and it will serve you much better in thew long run, plus you have excellent cpu upgrade path.

In Europe there is a 20 euro ($23) difference between these two, 1200 also does not need a mobo with a new bios revision.
