Can I use this CPU for gaming?

[hazzar17]

Can I use a intel celeron g1620 instead of using a gpu because im on a very low budget.

Theoretically yes, but you will get pretty lousy performance.
Are you going to make a new build?
What is your budget?

Only if you plan to play Solitaire exclusively.

sorry you cant bro. A gpu is very important for gaming. maybe look at this for gaming. It will give you much better gaming performance than the g1620.

So if I use the a6 6400k I wont need a gpu?

 

[sunder25]

For gaming at 1080p (with some exceptions -like LOL for example) you will need a gpu, otherwise you will have to play on low-medium settings, and some games will not even work.
That being said, the 6400k has better integrated graphics than the intel- so yes, that one is the better of the two.
What is your budget though? We can make a build for you.

My budget is £200

Went for the a8(more expensive) but it's a quad core and performs a lot better than the a6.
If you don't have the extra money, go for the a6.
Then when you want, you can add a discrete GPU.

Are you building a system from scratch, or are you upgrading an existing system?

If that is your complete computer budget, I would save up more money before putting together a gaming pc. Even if you are going to use an APU, you need to get higher clocked RAM to get the most out of the onboard graphics. 1866mhz or 2133mhz rated RAM.

Do you already have a PC/operating system/parts to work with?
