### Comment:
It's not even just for budget builds; I have a first gen 1600 that I paid $160 for and it's plenty fast for gaming. Any game above 1080p is usually GPU bound anyway so with my GTX1070 I haven't noticed any performance issues.

### REPLY:
I think he was referring to the APUs. Either way, it's a good way to get a good cheap system and then upgrade to a beefy build when you have more cash. Even without changing the CPU.
