G4560 or FX 8300

Solution
He is not stupid.

He is correct.
None of those 2 is exactly recommended for gaming for today's standard, thus hard to recommend.
G4560 has the faster cores which games prefer but it has only 2 cores (4 threads). Having only 2 cores is not exactly good.
FX83xx has more cores but the cores are slow but much slower than G4560.

If you insist on only picking between those 2, G4560 seems to be slightly better.

Actually, it shows the exact opposite. The whole purpose of that article is when the *CPU* limits the GPU. The 1050ti performances are expected, but the CPU was bottlenecking the GPUs past 1060.
 

The OP stated that he has a 1050ti,so you are saying that he can upgrade to a 1060 without problems with a g4560,and according to your link for some games, like sniper 4 or BF1 he could even go for a 1080 since even the 1080 still gives a few more FPS.
So what exactly is the problem?

You said the 1050ti is limiting the G4560. That's not true.
 
Both cpu’s are below minimum recommended in nearly all modern AAA games. I have several games now that can max or nearly max my 4670k (4.3 GHz) at 60fps and that’s significantly stronger than the cpu’s in question. Personally I could not recommend any cpu less than a modern quad core for even an entry gaming build. The FX 8300 although octo core is obsolete due to age.
 

How is it not true if the g4560 get's more FPS with faster cards?

Every person not with a Titan V and an 8700k/7980XE has a bottleneck under the definition you're using, which makes the term meaningless.
 

Huh?
OP is talking about an 1050ti,this GPU is not maxing out an g4560 and not even a 1060 is fully maxing out the g4560,so this CPU is a good choice for the OP,it will handle the 1050ti easily and it will even still be ok with the next GPU the OP will upgrade to.
 


If you're ok with playing games at medium or even lower why shouldn't you be ok with dropping below 60FPS,especially since the vast majority of the game will run above 60?
