We know that the Pentium g4560 can handle gaming(at least for a budget PC) but can it work well enough on everyday tasks?

Is it a good choice for someone who is planning on using the computer for browsing the Internet, watching videos, using different kinds of programs, browsing social media, etc? Because I certainly don't want my computer freezing when doing menial tasks not related to gaming. By the way, is it good enough for programming?

Yes to everything. If your rig is freezing or lagging it's probably the storage device (using a HDD instead of a SSD for the OS) or not enough memory.

If youre planning on a budget pc itd be wiser to go with a ryzen 5 2400g right now. The g4560 was a great choice before ryzen launched their budget apu's but now for $160 you get 4 cores 8 threads, as well as a really decent gaming experience all bundled into one package and way more value for the money rather than buying a g4560 + descrete graphics card. Plus you can always add a graphics card later once you get the money if you get the 2400g

I'm not a serious programmer, but it works great as an internet browsing and gaming chip. I've never had issues, but all I do is some web design, so what do I know?

I’d recommend Ryan 5 2400g
