I got an old PC which I am hoping to turn into a gaming PC and I want to start by getting a cheap CPU. I am planning to get the AMD A6 7400k as a cheap, basic CPU but I would like to know how it will run some games. I wont have a graphics card straight away but will it at least be able to run GTA V on lowest settings at about 25-30fps? Is this a good CPU for a cheap gaming PC?

I would try to atleast get an I3 4150 or something. I wouldnt waste my money on the A6 7400k, especially if your trying to run GTA V you will need a decent graphics card.
