AMD - Ryzen 5 8600G
I bought this processor in the summer of 2024. I’m still using it, and I think it’s a great processor with integrated graphics for $200. It’s more than enough for my everyday tasks and gaming. Yes, it has a relatively small L3 cache - only 16 MB, but if you need integrated graphics, it’s a solid option. It can also be a good temporary choice before a major upgrade. Over time, I added a GeForce RTX 3060 with 12 GB of VRAM. Now I play at maximum settings in 2K (1440p) via DisplayPort on a 144 Hz monitor in games like World of Tanks, The Witcher 1 and 2, Metro Exodus, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Cossacks 3, and others. So overall, this processor is a good option for a budget build with integrated graphics.

Retro game beast
Basic gaming monster. Used in a small form factor PC, the CPU and GPU worked great for retro remake games like Diablo, Warcraft, and Age of Empires.
