Is the Pentium G5400 a good budget CPU?

I'm just wondering, or are there better options? 1080p 60fps is what i'm looking for.

For CS:GO yes it would be awesome - any other game, might want to bump to a quad-core at the very least.

Not even for just The Forest, Rainbow Six Siege, and GTA 5?

This is going to be for a friend. I'm planning on pairing a 1050 2gb with it.

what is your budget?

The age of dual core is over. Go for Ryzen 3 2200G if you want cheap CPU.

don't get the 1050 2gb. 4gb vram is the minimum you should get.

i don't know anything about this company, but i saw this rx 580 for $110.

If you already have the 1050 just get a refurb i5-3470 prebuilt, will be a good match

Shouldn't be that hard to find a cheap desktop with 4790 in it.
