i got a r5 3400g for 10$, last owner said he took it off his mobo for an upgrade and bent some pins while doing so. placed the pins perfectly with a toothpick and now works perfectly.
I have a 3600 xt paired with a 6700 xt and 32 gb ram 3200 mhz and I can confirm the cpu bottlenecks the card at 1080p ultra settings in most of the games
You can get it at micro center for $80, and $20 off mobo you can get a cpu and mobo for $140, throw 16gb of ddr4 3600 cl16 for around 40-45$, throw in a 500gb ssd for $25, get a cheap montech case for $60, and get a rx 6600 for like $179, and then get a Thermaltake smart 600w psu for a 500$ ultra budget build
I can guarantee that the r5 3600 is a beast that would last for 5 more years. Also I paired it with a 6600xt and it was a beast of a set up WZ1 could reach me 100+fps while on wz2 65-80fps in battleroyale.

I think best Apu for budget gaming is Ryzen 5 5600g
Got a new 3600 for 65 eur, new msi b450m pro vdh 70€ and used xfx thicc iii ultra 5700xt for 150eur
I got a ryzen 5 3600 for $55 and a gigabyte DS3H B450m Wi-Fi for $60 brand new from micro center just like 2 days ago and I’m likely going to pair it with a Rx 6600 which I can get for $155 from micro center
So moral of the story, live next to a micro center
When I was building a PC everything was the same price, so I got the 5600x instead.
i just bought the r5 5600 for 67$
Got a 3600X for 60USD paired it with an RX5700XL for 130usd.
Very good for 1080p and very cheap!
How about the ryzen 5 3600 with the Rx 580 8gb
yeah, $80 for ryzen 5 3600 I paid like 200€ 4 month ago
i've been using that same processor for 2 years but now I paired it with an rx 7900xt... maybe I should have saved something for a new cpu + motherboard
