Hi;
I'm going to do an upgrade this week. First of all my budget is really limited (bad economy of my country), so I'm thinking about Athlon 200GE, i3-4160 and G5400.
My main purpose for upgrade is casual gaming (single-player) and I already have a R7 250 which works well for me even for this year games. I don't really care about quality just being acceptable and a little future proof.
Unfortunately used prices aren't much different from new in where I live (I have considered them though) and also AMD processors are really hard to find and are also expensive. I also have to find a budget mobo.
From budget aspect I could find a great deal for i3-4160 with B85, but I decided to ask here to know which one is better for gaming.
In addition does AVX matter in gaming? cause G5400 doesn't support AVX.
Thanks
