Any Ryzen would be miles ahead of the g4560. But until we get the benchmarks we won't know if they are a better deal. That being said both the a Intel 1151 motherboard, or amd AM4 motherboard will leave you with some good upgrade options down the road. Being the GPU has a greater impact on gaming, if you budget your gpu to be twice the price of your cpu, you "should" keep a mostly balanced build.

According to the online benchmarks the g4560 gets about 4 fps less then a i3 6100. And about 10 fps less the the i5 6500. So you will be getting around 50 fps on games like Witcher 3 and tomb raider. That being said it is a very week CPU, so CPU dependent games like ashes of singularity will preform very poorly.
