Is Amd 3000g a good processor?

Looking to buils a cheap pc, should i stick to 3000g or stretch up tp 3200g?

Price in my region:

3000g : 64.30 USD

3200g : 116.30 USD

Is it worth the price difference ?

It really depends on what you need your computer to do.
Are you building an office PC / HTPC / casual gaming PC / web browsing PC? Then the 3000G is wonderful: I use it in my HTPC and it flawlessly handles 1080p live streamings, Blu-ray, MKV video and music playing, all of this while having a ridiculous 35W TDP. Casual browser games work well too and it can handle some "serious" PC gaming but with many limits.

On the other hand, the 3200G can be much stronger in games (the integrated Vega 8 is more than double the performance of the 3000G's Vega 3 and it has 4 real CPU cores instead of 2 cores with SMT) and it can be less of a bottleneck if paired with a decent graphics card (I'd say RX580 / RX5600 / GTX 1660 / RTX 2060 could be the limit here).

So in a nutshell: gaming = 3200G, anything but gaming = 3000G.
