No option for a 3000g? If not then the 200ge. Both cpu's are as good as identical in performance but the 200ge is on a modern platform that has a lot of upgrade potential

Aim for Ryzen 1200

 

It's 50-60$ without cooler on aliexpress/ebay , if you're lucky and offer is accepted you may get it for 50$ on eBay with cooler.

 

It's 4 cores and overclockable and same Zen cores as 200ge..

 

50$ + 5$ shipping, from China (no cooler)  : https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Ryzen-3-1200-Desktop-Processor-AM4-YD1200BBM4KAE-4-cores-Work-Normally/264096438942?epid=12011059685&hash=item3d7d5fda9e%3Ag%3ASiMAAOSwcOZcG7oT&LH_BIN=1

 

63$ free shipping with cooler: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Ryzen-3-1200-4-Core-3-1-GHz-Desktop-Processor-with-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/192949667825?epid=2153024995&hash=item2cecb247f1%3Ag%3AQZAAAOSwRHRdAnXJ&LH_BIN=1

Hi, that will depend on what you want to do on your system. For office use and older games (pre 2010) the Athlon is a really good choice. However the i5 has 4 physical cores, that means more performance in games. However if you are planning on a low budget APU without a dedicated GPU, I would go AMD. The nice thing here is you can go and upgrade later if you have some more money. The i5-2400 is EOL and the platform in general is out of production. I am running a 200 GE in the office and yes it can play Battlefield 2, Age of Empires 2 and 3, UT2004, if you are into that kind of thing. One thing to note here is the choice of memory, if you want to upgrade later get DDR4-3200 or higher modules, the 200 ge won't need it but higher end Ryzen CPUs and APUs will make good use of it later.

and you can get a motherboard for cheap?

 

usually its not the price of the CPU which is the issue, its the motherboard.

is cheap, but slow and minimal upgrade options... with am4 socket you may upgrade the cpu 1-2 years from now to a 6 or  8 core and not replace motherboard and ram again.

Because the system you want is on am4. So if you now get an am4 cpu like the 200ge. Get a b450 board and some ddr4 ram you can us the same board and ram again for the system you want and that will save you money allowing you to get a better computer.

And a year from now, you'll also spend much more than needed upgrading again the cpu and motherboard and ram.

 

With the i5 2500 you also need a motherboard compatible with that CPU, your motherboard (from the other thread) is not compatible with it.

You'll spend 30-60$ on that motherboard, the only advantage is you could reuse the RAM.

But a card like RX 480 will almost be slowed down by that processor, it's too slow already.

 

Spend a bit more and you won't spend again in 1-2 years

You will be wasting your money then. The money that you could use in that presumably upcoming build.

Even if so. Lga 1155 has been dead for years yet you still want to buy it. Again you made the decision to get a 2400 came on here asking for advice but all you wanted to hear is that the 2400 is a good buy and that is all. If that's what you want go buy it

Also me: i5 2400 is a more power efficient i5 3470, whose motherboards cost as much as a low end AM4 motherboard (used LGA socket) that has no upgrade path whereas AM4 has a full lineup of available CPU's that smash the i5 2400 available on that socket.
