What's your budget ? 

What is the 3100 priced at ? 

Out of these two 

The 2200g and the 470 will be a better option

Is there a particular reason you're buying an APU just to pair it with a GPU?

That being said, the 3200G is likely the better option. Zen is kinda meeeh nowawadays, and you can always throw a GPU in later on.

An apu will not outperform a full GPU.

I edited my post elaborating more. OP didn't post a use-case. If they are doing graphically intensive work, then yes, you're right.

If it's any help, I upgraded my FX4350 for a Ryzen 3200g but was a little underwhelmed by it's performance. On it's own it's a great chip, but when I paired it with a RX570 it slowed right down remembering it's only got 4 cores, 4 threads and part of that is built in GPU. I end up upgrading to a Ryzen 2600X which has 6 cores and 12 threads and has far better performance and to be honest if you mind not having the latest CPU there are some great deals to be had on the previous architectures like the Ryzen 2600 with cooler for £120 / $100 on Amazon which would be a better match with your RX470.
