Wich would be the best budget cpu for gaming?
I was thinking about an intel pentiul g860 or a amd athlon 2 x4 750k?
it wil probaly paired with an hd7850.
 
please go with intel because u have better options to upgrade later on go with the i3 then u can upgrade to i5 or i5 i made a mistake of going with amd its isnt really bad but intel is better :/
 

The Athlon is a bit slower than the FX 4300 but a lot cheaper and the Pentium is a bit slower than the G2120 and again a lot cheaper.

As you can see, the Athlon is clearly the better choice and it will NOT bottleneck your HD 7850 in any significant way.
Remember than the card they're testing these CPU's with is twice as powerfull as yours, so the difference you'll see from upgrading from the Athlon 751 to a Core i5 will be twice smaller.
