Ryzen 3 1200 or i3 8100 for my gtx 960

Soumen 512 · Mar 20, 2018

Hi I want to buy a new Cpu motherboard and Ram. I sold my old pc (except gtx 960 4gb). I lives in India and here the ryzen 3 1200 is $45 cheaper than the i3 8100. So please guys tell me which processor should I buy.

I suggest you try out the Ryzen 3 2200G it has a the new vega 8 GPU integrated in it so you don't need a gpu you can still use your gtx 960 as discrete gpu if you want or you can just use the onboard one.

But the 1200 is $30 cheaper than the 2200g in my country.

Both are 4 cores, but the 8100 has better SCP so better gaming.

However, mobos for it are more expensive. If on a budget, go with the 1200 and apply some OC.

Go with the 1200. Make sure you get a b350 series motherboard to be able to overclock though. But the GTX 960 is basically equivalent to a GTX 1050 to GTX 1050ti. Essentially the card will likely hold back any potential performance benefit of one or the other. Once the 1200 is overclocked, it should be close.

This should give you an idea. The guy ran some tests even with a GTX 1070 with each CPU, and when running high details, once the ryzen 1200 was overclocked, the 2 processors seemed to read blows.

I didn't watch the whole video, but the chart I saw during the video suggested that. But have a look and see what you think.

which b350 board is good for that?

^ pretty much any b350 is fine for overvlocking a ryzen 1200.

Buy based on the features you need & the price you can afford.

Board Id pick personally if you have a full atx case

On a tight budget though that cheapest msi will do the job fine.
