A Ryzen 1200 is like $30 more than a 6300. It would be irresponsible to suggest he be on an old, dead platform, which he'd entirely need to upgrade next time he wants to upgrade, to save him $30.

Depends on if he wants to future proof it or not. The ryzen 1200 isnt going to make that much of a difference and definitely not worth $30 more.

 


Perfect example of not having a clue.

Someone can build a current gen system, with an upgrade path, and you want to recommend a system built on a dead platform that performs worse?

Penny-wise, pound-foolish.
 
Absolutely 100% ryzen 1200.

I could see half an argument for a 6300 (because its still a half decent CPU) if the op already owned DDR3 ram or a am3 board & had very little money to spend.

Makes no sense now in 2017 though when the ryzen chips are available & cheap

Have you see the price of am3 boards of late ?? Anything decent is $100 or more because they've ceased production.
