is this a solid choice for a non gamer PC or will i regret not spending a couple of bucks more for a better cpu. I use my PC for browsing, watching movies and latex.

I've got the 4790k, it has more cores, higher ipc and clock speeds. But costs a little bit more coin

Everyone knows you need an i7 7700k to watch movies. KYS yourself.

It's enough for bare minimum. Otherwise invest in a quad core like the Ryzen 1400.

Waiting for ryzen 3 might be a wise choice in terms of price/performance and energy consumption
But if you just want a machine for shitposting, latex and watching porn, the G4560 will do just fine

>Kill yourself yourself

Just get an AMD A8 and that will suffice your minimalist needs and mild gaming. An APU is the cheapest way to get more out of a PC.

Actually, I need 16C/32T for watching movies, drawing in mspaint and shitposting on reddit/Sup Forums. Intel just doesn't offer what I need.

nice joke, but please get out if you really browse plebbit

Then I'd go with AMD. You can't beat the price for the performance.

Don't follow the meme, it's bare minimum. Anything more than Netflix and it'll have a tough time.

im plenning to put this into a 0/24 server for steaming and seeding. will it be enough?

It should be plenty for personal use. If you want to be sure just go with an A10 APU. That or step it up with the FX series CPU. I game with am A8 APU and nivida 710 GPU. If you want to go with intel then get an i5, buy you will pay much more.

Grab a quad core.

I want to keep the costs as low as possible. I just want it to be enough for the purpose. I would just use it to store my data, steam flac/mp3 and max 1080p movies. would this handle? or can I go even lower, such as a celeron maybe?

You would regret a Celeron in my opinion. Your best bet is an AMD A8 or intel i5. AMD is going to keep the cost down and still get the perfermance you seek.

i've built a pc recently with b250i pro+g4560+1050ti and can't really think of it to run better in desktop and games. almost all modern games (which i'm not even interested in) run on max settings, great emulation etc.

I'd get the newest 7th gen i5 or i3 in the lower segment instead.
HEVC support and all that and an iGPU that is more than enough so you can spend the extra money on the CPU so you don't need to spend money on a dedicated GPU, but that's just me being rational.

It's fine.

If you aren't gaming I'd recommend looking at refurb workstations - its end of financial year at the moment so it seems like quite a few are floating around. I've picked up an Optiplex with a 4790 and it works really well - trade off is that it isn't a graphics powerhouse at all, which is fine for work purposes (multiple instances of visual studio)

Does the G4560 do proper 10-bit animu decode?

intel is shit

It's a solid choice for anything that's not workstation/professional work-related, it's an i3 with a different name, pretty much.
