It is pretty good for the price, and with a certain BIOS you can overclock it, making it really good for the price.

The Igpu should be better than intel built in graphics, but don't expect anything spectacular.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Think the Ryzen 3 2200U but clocked higher.

For $60 it really isn't a bad CPU; it's a stellar HTPC chip, but unless you absolutely don't need anything better or you can't afford anything better, the Ryzen 3 2200G is only about $40 more for two more physical cores and a significantly better iGPU.

Compared to other Zen CPUs, the thing's not great. It has little to offer, with only 2 cores and SMT with an iGPU as strong as an Intel iGPU more or less, it's only suitable for office work.

However, in and of itself, it's quite a chip. The efficiency of Zen allow it to be entirely passively cooled with a pretty small heat sink, so less fan noise is a plus. Additionally, if you have just a miniscule budget, you don't need to get a Bulldozer/Piledriver/whatever A series Athlon or X4 to get an AM4 motherboard for the Ryzen foot in the door.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

good if you want to get a PC running, bad if you want performance from it. It hasn't got much on that.

Ok, let’s say i have a decent GPU already...could I possibly get decent performance with games?

No, if you have a GPU already get at least a 4 core ryzen.  You don't need the IGPU in the athlon.

"decent" GPU, being what exactly? This is a low end CPU, it would likely bottleneck something mid range or high end.

To me, it's good for a complete beginner to PC building and hardware to get to know their way around the components and to dip into the waters. I would only use an Athlon 200GE for just about anything that isn't gaming, such as office work or internet browsing.

Ok, good to know. Yeah I was planning on using it for gaming but I guess I’ll look into a different budget option.
