If you're going the APU route for now, I'd highly suggest the R5 2400G (4c/8t) over the 2200G (4c/8t).
Not only is the iGP stronger, you could actually upgrade to almost any discreet GPU in future without much issue - save yourself the money from an R5 1600.

Not 100% of a 1600 given it's lower core count, but has a solid tradeoff in higher base/boost clocks (1600 will turbo to 3.6, 2400G's base is 3.6GHz).

As for a future GPU, it really depends on the resolution, games you want to play and when you want to add a GPU.
Something like a 6GB 1060, 8GB RX 580 (or greater) would be solid 1080p/60Hz cards today..... but with new GPU launches imminent, by the time you want to add a GPU, those may not be the best value propositions.

Which vs550? I mean the label, green, orange, grey (typed from worst to best).
You will need atleast dual channel ram, either going 2x4GB 2666+. or 2x8 (if possible), or if you dont wanna game at all demanding games, it wont matter much.

I personally dont recommend going higher than 3000 ram speed, since amd is tricky about ram compability, not sure if they fixed it via updates for bios.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from geoffreycuizon14 : "Newbie PC build for 2018"



Kinda, sorta.

Aiming for Crossfire out of the gate isn't recommended. Support (generally speaking) is lacking. A single, stronger GPU would be the best route to go.

A 2200G is relatively weak for GPUs such as an RX580 - and you're paying for the benefit of the iGP.... which you don't need with a discreet GPU.
A Ryzen5 1600, 2600 or X variants would be my recommendation to for the best "bang for your buck", although you could go with a non-APU R3.

Ryzen CPUs benefit from faster memory. 2966MHz or faster.

128GB SSDs fill up fast, and will likely need a decent amount of time spent managing storage. You could forgo the M.2 aspect, and find a 2.5" drive in the 240GB range, without breaking the bank.

The VS lineup of PSUs are not great. Personally, I wouldn't run a single RX580 from one, let alone Crossfire.
Technically it's just about in spec (580's are 185W TDP cards), but even then, I wouldn't expect problem-free operation.



Where are you located? What kind of budget are you working with? What resolution is your monitor?

Please suggest some good single gpu for my future r5 1600. I'll replace my CPU for my future build and it's for my live streaming.
But for now I'm gonna go for r3 2200g and the one you told me 240gb SSD plus higher ram like 2900 4gb x 2 only for my budget build. This build is gonna be for my college school works and mid range gaming for now.

Future budget build:
CPU: r5 1600
GPU: suggestion for live streaming.
