Should I build a Ryzen 5 2400g APU, or a Ryzen 3 1300x with a gtx 1050 ti? The ti build is for sure faster, but hopefully when gpu prices go down i can update my 2400g build with something better for the money, and have a playable pc in the meantime. Thoughts?

These are not good time for buying. The 2400G would not make such a "whoohoo" if prices for GPUs were "normal".
The memory prices are awe-inspiring, and yes, therefore the price is a problem. Taking the 2200G is not an option, as even though it's potential is good in itself, it is NOT a good choice for later GPU-upgrades.
Still, if you buy 16 fast GB of RAM, it is not wasted, and a good, futureproof investion. I would not dare to say this about the 1050, or the RX 560, as it is only the1060 that is fairly futureproof for FullHDv (regarding speed, but also gerading the amount of VRam).

I do not envy you...

As long as you accept the limits, going for the 2400G is a good idea - this is about the speed of a GT 1030 (look for benchmarks).
If you disable onboard-graphics later, the 2400G can easily accomodate a GTX 1060, AMD 580, or so, for a very good FullHD experience.
If you look for something faster than that (like WQHD) you have a problem, and have to exchange the CPU as well.

Thanks for the help! My only additional reservation is the 2400g really needs 16 gigs of high speed ram to reach the 1030, whereas the other build only needs 8 gb of ram and that ectra money could go into a rx 560. You are correct that if I can except the limits of the 2400g, its a better long term package, however, the performance benefits of the 1300x 560 combo over the 2400g is one tough pill to swallow.
