I just want to know which APU has better performance per dollar, I'm not gonna be using a seperate card, just the onboard graphics. The AMD Athlon 5350 or the A4-7300 or the A6-7400K? Thanks in advance
 


What are you using that CPU for? Retro gaming? I would rather have x2 Athlon 4000+ than that CPU.

Go with Intel G4400.
 


I used it as a media/file server 24/7 (plex local network) , now i use it as silent every day use (internet, media, and remote descktop) some Windows store gaming and steam remote gaming from my main computer , using external power suply and sdd, its dead silent and cheap to run all i need.


 


What are you gonna use the PC for? That's what we actually haven't asked.
 


What about a GPU?
 


GPU is integrated into G4400.
 


But the intel integrated graphics are crap

 


You were asking about Athlon 5350, A4-7300 and A6-7400K. The integrated graphics on those processors are complete sh*t. I am recommending a G4400 which is an extremely powerful dual core based on Skylake architecture and uses the new HD 510 integrated graphics which are a HUGE improvement over HD 4440 which aren't that bad either.

There are different HD integrated graphics based on different architectures. The new HD 510 is perfect even for light gaming.
 


Would it be able to play games like BF4 and BO3 at 720p medium and get 30fps?

 


Gaming?

You should be looking at this combination then:
