AMD cheap build

[tieyet]

Hi guys! I'm from philippines.

I would like to ask if a X4-860k good for cheap gaming?

I would answer... no, then ask, what is your motherboard make model, maybe you can get an FX-xxxx series instead.

To answer as well, no. How much is your budget for "cheap gaming" are you planning to buy a discrete gpu?

I used to have an fx6200. The performance was not that good. I switched to intel i5 6600, and the difference is night and day. Save more money, and get something with an intel chip. I was fooled when I got the pre built with the 6200, because it had more cores, and a higher ghz than any of the intel ones. I was wrong. It even ate way more power than my current cpu, despite being like half as powerful.
