A budget PC, as the name suggests, is a system focused on price-to-performance ratio, stripped of unnecessary luxuries. It typically consists of mid-range or lower-end hardware but still runs games/applications without issues. For example, instead of buying a cutting-edge processor, you might opt for a slightly older CPU. The same logic applies to the graphics card, RAM, storage unit, etc. In short, part selection is optimized to deliver the best performance for the lowest possible budget.

Can you give an example of which CPUs are recommended for a budget PC? For instance, is the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 enough, or should I go with a cheaper model?
Which part is the most critical for a budget PC—CPU or GPU? And how many performance points do you lose by opting for an older‑model CPU?
