I was looking to buy myself a ryzen 3 2200g and 8 g of ram build with an OC-able mb,but
i saw that i could get a g4560 and a gtx 1050 buuld with 4g of ram for 30$ more, im on a low budget and would like to know which is better for the money, im gaming at 720p low/medium settings
- Do note that if i get the ryzen build i would OC the cpu and iGPU
 
For gaming, the G4560 + GTX 1050 + B250 mobo compilation is quite better than the APU Ryzen 3 2200G + B350 mobo.
Note that if you choose ryzen 3 2200G you must choose a high speed DDR4 memory (flarex 3200 or similar).

Note that if you choose ryzen 3 2200G you must choose a high speed DDR4 memory (flarex 3200 or similar) and buy two identical sticks for the dual channel to act on. This which is normally important is essential to take advantage of the IGPU.

If you choose G4560 you can use any DDR4 of at least 2400.

Also keep in mind that if you plan to do oce, the mobo must be of acceptable quality and the psu of very good quality.

 
For gaming, any of the discrete GPUs, even a 1030, will give you better gaming performance over the 2200g. The problem with the G4560 is it is dual core. It is hard to recommend a dual core CPU in 2018. Not sure what your budget it like, but the 8100 would be a big improvement over the G4560.

I would go with something like this:

I would by pass the G4560 and go with a Pentium Gold 5400. To get the same level of performance out of a G4560 you need to overclock to around 4.3 ghz which means a more expensive board. A gold you can run on a cheap motherboard and still have the options to upgrade later to a i5 8400 and above.

720p low settings? A Gold 5400 + 1050 GT or a 2200G will handle 1080p Low to medium settings in everything out. The FPS difference is very marginal in comparison as either offer a great deal of performance for the money and both offer you a sold upgrade path. The performance gap starts to widen and favor the Ryzen when you apply a better GPU, a 1060 3gb for example with a overclock on the 2200g you start to see 10+ FPS increases.

Note RAM prices.

3000mhz 2X4g CL15 you can find for $90 which is cheaper than 2666mhz CL16. 3200mhz CL14 or CL15 RAM starts at $200. Ryzen gains a huge benefit from faster RAM, the newer Intel chips also gain a increase from it just not as drastic. 3000mhz CL14 or CL15 can be fairly easy to overclock to 3200mhz. 3200mhz kits are hard to find in 2X4g configurations.

2X4g is 8gigs

There isn't a title on the market that uses a full 8Gigs below high settings @ 1080p.

Slightly more capable GPU + less capable CPU + less RAM for more money = a very bad deal. Stick with the Ryzen build.

The ryzen 3 2200g has an integrated gpu,and that is what i want to compare to the gtx
1050

"i could get a g4560 and a gtx 1050 buuld with 4g of ram for 30$ more"

I agree 8GB is fine. I was reading that to mean that money saved on RAM was being put toward GPU.

The g4560 is dual core but with Hyper threading. The price to performance difference between it and the i3-8100 is horrible. Even on very CPU intensive games it handles fine. You will be hard pressed to bottleneck a gpu with it all the way up to a gtx 1070. He would be better off going with the g4560 and spending the difference on something like a 1050ti.

Source: I have both the g4560 (currently paired with a gtx 970) and the i3-8100.

I'm pretty sure the OP found a solution within 4 months but for what it's worth I wouldn't recommend a G4560 at any budget right now. High FTV and latency are common on that CPU since any current API is going to want 4+ cores. I would back up your option of an i3 8100 since used you can find them for $75 but a 970 GTX "$115" used is a better option over 1050's or 1050 TI's.

I am sure OP found his solution, but this thread is one of the first that came up in a common google search.
Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL7YcPlJ83c.
This has been looked into pretty extensively. For gaming the g4560 is plenty.

G4560 $70 "200GE $60, G5400 $60 Within 5% in FPS of each other"
G5500 $90 "2200G $99"

G4560 = Dead socket with a max CPU of i7 7700K $350+ new still
G5500= Current with 8th and 9th gen CPU options.
2200G= Current gen with upgrade options until 2020

The point here is why build around a dead socket with new parts when the FPS on these budget chips is really close? Why limit yourself to out of production CPU's when you have AM4 "Getting CPU upgrades every year until 2020" and LGA115-3 which should end with the current 9th gen CPUs? You also have the low-end 9th gen chips which have not been released yet to consider.

Even building around used parts I wouldn't consider a G4560 because it's very easy to find i3 6100/7100's for $55-$70 and an i5 6400/6500/7400/7500 starting at $80.
 


Don't believe everything you see on youtube. I would not buy a dual core CPU in 2018 for gaming.

The userbenchmark.com score shoes the 8100 40% faster than the G4560. 40% increase is substantial when building a budget system. 40% bump is not "horrible". When the 8th gen CPUs were released Intel gave the i3's quad cores. So the i3 8100 = i5 7500. While I will agree, the g4560 is the better buy against the i3 7100. But Intel has changed the I3 lineup.
