Will this be okay for a extreme budget Gaming PC

Will this be a good budget gaming PC im not going to be playing very intensive games but will it be enough and im probably going to add a gpu later on to take advantage of dual graphics but will this be good for now?

Itll be enough for gaming on low settings on some AAA modern games, and maybe some on medium. Some games wont run on it very well at all. Look up benchmarks for that APU.

I had a mini-itx build with a slightly slower A8 quad core and it played most games that were a little older on med-high settings (Sykrim, Dark souls 2, World of Warcraft). It would have struggled to run the latest batch of games which were all designed for the next gen consoles and drastically increased system requirements. Adding a decent GPU later would help a lot though but if you were going to do that you would be better off going with a better CPU from the start.

If going with 6800k I would get 2133mhz ram, the apu is proven to perform better with faster ram in games.

Personally I would buy the $100 pentium combo from microcenter if you can get it. It would allow you to buy a cheap video card now that would outperform the 6800k, and be set for the latest Intel processor due out this summer or anything Intel has made in the last 1+ year. You can also get 1600mhz ram and save their too.

I ran a 6800k last winter, it was "ok" but any emulation or real gaming will be extremely bottlenecked by the lack of per core performance. I went to a 4670k afterwards and it was an eye opening difference. I have since downgraded to the pentium g3258 because I wanted to save some cash and do mostly emulation.
