Hey there. I am building a PC for surfing, streaming, some video editing(After Effects and Premiere Pro) and animation(Blender) and (very)casual gaming, just for time-pass.

Experts please tell which config is better:

I plan to overclock the R3 1200. Or should I get Ryzen 3 1300x with A320m motherboard(no OC)?

Please help :)
 
Solution
1. buy a 2 x 4gb ram kit to operate in faster dual channel mode.

2. I think a current 8th gen i3-8100 and a z370 motherboard would be better and cost you no more.
$118 for i3-8100

$ 120 for z370 motherboard:

I have confirmed from the seller that the BIOS is updated to support 7th Gen processors, so no compatibility issues :)
