Hey, fellas. I'm building home pc with hex processor by AMD. My searches was not successful because I find out that only 4-core AMD processors have an integrated video card. What cheapest solution will be for AMD 6-core processors, I mean discrete video card?

PC is not for gaming. Just for multitask work, multi-tabs browsers, enterprise software, watching videos, etc.

I know there is out nice 4-core processors from AMD with Intergrated VC's, but I'd like to buy 6-core :).
 
Solution
Well if you really want the six core just buy the cheapest PCIE GPU you can find, or get an intel 6 core like the i5 8400.
If you don't need graphics acceleration it doesn't really matter what the graphics card is very much. One of my old machines has a random $20 graphics card I got second hand in it just to give it an HDMI output and I use it for netflix and youtube etc - no problem at all.

For most home users though the 4 core AMD 2400G is a pretty good option, why so keen on 6 cores ?

Are you actually using software that will see a real benefit from six cores rather than four? Most of the stuff you listed (the one that *could* make a difference is software, but you didn't specify) will see a fairly irrelevant boost from a good four-core to a good six-core.
 
From the Ryzen 2nd generation only the Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 2400G have Vega integrated grapgics, but they are both 4 core CPUs.
If you want to go for a 6 core like the Ryzen 5 2600(this would be the cheapest, having the best value of the bunch) or 2600x you'll need to buy a dedicated GPU.
You can go for a cheap GPU like a GT 1030 or GTX 1050/1050ti if you're not planning on doing any graphical intensive stuff.
 
Thank you for a fast replies.

Well, I'm got interest in 6-core proc. because I'm a little bit an idealist, perfectionist and egoist. Some part of my brain talking to my "don't get in cheap, you should buy 6 core instead of 4. It will be faster". But your replies got me into another side of the board, and I'm thinking maybe they right and 2400G is a really wise choice.

Just because I'm building PC for long-term using for me, it cracks my brain to choose a best options.

Well, maybe "the best" is 2400G.
 


It's a really good chip and it performs similar to the 3770k and 2600k, which still have a lot of life in them. The 2400G, like these two, is a 4 core/8 thread chip.
