Once you drop that CPU cooler, use that money and the money from your PSU to get this:

I think i should keep the cooler........ here is why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpECFc4nlmI


plus

"Our test platform employs a Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 cooler to cope with the thermal challenges presented by Raven Ridge's unique design (we measured 72°C using AIDA64's CPU/GPU stress test). In the past, we've overclocked Summit Ridge-based samples using AMD's bundled Wraith Spire heat sink and fan. But the Radeon Vega graphics engine adds a bit more thermal stress to the equation, so plan on buying a better cooler for overclocking."

A reasonable build for a budget gamer.
But... buying an APU is not usually a good idea if you intend to upgrade in the future.

If you add a discrete graphics card in the future as evidenced by a more than minimal 550w psu, then you have thrown away the chief benefit of an APU, namely the excellent integrated graphics.

If you already have the GPU then you might want to reconsider the APU, as the 2200G and 2400G only have 8 lanes for external graphics. The 1200 has twice the cache at 8 MB and should overclock to 3.9/4.0 and be free of the heat of the graphics core of the APU and then you do not need the better cooler as there is not the same heat load.

I think the 1200 to 2200g video you had was running both at stock speed and the 1200 has a lower base speed and that was the difference in performance. Both should hit the same upper limit when overclocking.
