I'm going to recommend against the 2400G. He has a GPU he doesn't need something with Onboard Graphics. And while it makes only a tiny performance difference that APU only has 8 PCIe lanes. Instead get a Ryzen 5 1600 which gives hime 6 cores and 12 threads, vs the only 4 cores of the 2400G.

That's what I have right now. I agree, although 2400G is pretty good when used with a graphics card.

Its a good processor but why pay for what you will not use, better off with the 1600 And get 2 extra cores that he WILL use.
Yes it is because its newer, but the 1600 is cheaper, very similar, and note the title "Cheap cpu......"

MSRP yes, but can be had cheaper sometimes, and with a B350 board he will need to get the BIOS updated to use it. He can get a B450 but it will probably be more money.

Yep. I've heard than the b350 board already has the bios updated. The 2200g is 50 dollars less than 1600 though.

No B350 boards do not. you may find an updated one but most likely not.
Lets let the OP reply and see what kind of budget he is dealing with. You said 2400G which is same price as the 1600 MSRP. The 2200G is slower, and again has onboard graphics he doesn't need.

2200g is 0.1 ghz slower. Is that a problem? For 50 dollars cheaper, I would very much go with 2200g. Without using onboard graphics makes it "faster". He won't need that much threads.

The 2200G is 4 cores 4 threads, the 2400G is 4 cores and 8 threads in addition to being 200mhz faster in turbo which makes a noticeable difference in performance (Ignoring the speed difference in onboard graphics as well). Not using onboard graphics does not make any thing "faster", they are separate form eachother. ANYWAY as I said we have gone into an off topic discussion here, lets see what the OP says about his budget and the choices presented so far before discussing more.
