So what is the best budget AMD processor? (AM4 Socket)
I wanna upgrade mine, I have a Athlon X4 950 right now, which bottlenecks my GPU (GTX 1050Ti)

Price range:
Max: $150

I agree with everyone saying the R5 2600. If you have a local Microcenter, they currently sell it for $150. If not, consider the R5 1600, which is still an excellent 6 core 12 thread gaming CPU based on older Ryzen gen 1. That at Microcenter costs $130.


The biggest advantage of the 2200g is the APU. You wont use it with your 1050ti. I would wait till you have enough for a 2600. It will be a good CPU for your for a long time.
