Hey guys,

Im experimenting with very low budget gaming and im considering to build a cheap PC using a GT 730 (60€), some Sata3 i got and 8 gig of Ram (35€).
So im asking you what CPU would you take, the Intel celeron 1820 or AMD 5350, both between 30 and 35€.

The thing is i only want to play strategy games, like company of heroes 2 on 1366x768.

I know the Intel has a higher clock frequence but does the AMD has an advantage on strategy games because of the 4 cores?

And yeah i know that i can go up the CPU tree to I3/I5 if i chose the Celeron, but this is not important for me right now.
So which CPU would you recommend?

 
Solution
The celeron would be faster than the AMD 5350. The 5350 is a very slow chip, and the PCI-E slot for graphics doesn't run at full x16 speed. Even an old core 2 quad Q9xxx would be faster than a 5350.
