Upgrade to R3 2200G?

[Nauctshea]

I have two computers.

#1

AMD FX-4350

AMD R9 390X

 

#2

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T

AMD Radeon HD 5830

 

Situation: I'd like to upgrade computer #1 to a Ryzen CPU. I understand I need a new motherboard and RAM. I'd like to wait for the Ryzen 2 CPU's later this year. My idea is to get the motherboard and RAM in place now with a placeholder APU that I can transplant into computer #2 later (with a new motherboard and RAM, of course).

 

Question: How would the R3 2200G compare to the FX-4350 when paired with the R9 390X? How would the R3 2200G by itself compare to the Phenom II and HD 5830 combination?

 

Computer #1 currently plays games like Overwatch, DOOM, The Division, and Destiny 2 at 1080 and mid-high graphics. I'd like to play games like Anthem and The Division 2 at 1080.

Computer #2 currently plays games like Overwatch, Clone Drone, Minecraft, etc.

There’s a website called userbenchmark. It may help out with some of this.

If you want placeholder, try the Athlon 200GE. It's dirt cheap (~$60 USD) and can handle some gaming, despite 2 cores 4 threads and very little horsepower. A Ryzen 3 2200G is actually a decent CPU, even if it is on the low end; but its a little expensive for 3-4 (maybe more like 4-5) months of use.

 

Run the Athlon with your current dedicated GPU, its integrated graphics + cpu power cannot game (well).

re: Athlon 200GE
Right, but it'll get moved into another computer later. If the 2200G is better than the Phenom II and HD 5830 combo, that'd be good.

 

re: UserBenchmark

It says the 2200G is better than the FX-4350, but I wanted some actual opinions. Stats on paper don't always tell the truth.

 

UserBenchmark scores (effective speed):

2200G > FX-4350 by 60%

2200G > Phenom II X6 1100T by 57%

HD 5830 > Vega 8 by 11%

 

So, I guess the 2200G would be an upgrade all around, but I wanted to float it by people who might know better than I do and what UserBenchmark can tell me.
