fx 8350 vs ryzen 3

[Ted Aplin]

I am creating a £500 PC build it is not specifically for gaming but it can game at just above console performance, it has 8gb of RAM, a gtx 1050 2GB version, a samsung 500GB SSD, a 430W power supply and it is a micro ATX build. I probably will not upgrade it so upgrade ability is only a small consideration.

 

but I am which cpu to get i could get...

1. a fx 8350 with 4.0 - 4.2 GHz and 8 cores
2. a ryzen 3 with 3.1 - 3.4GHz and 4 cores
3. a ryzen 3 with 3.5 - 3.7GHz and 4 cores

Definitely the 1200.

1200 + b350 motherboard and OC it silly.

Haha, why even think of the fx? Those things are irrelevant in 2017.

samsung 500GB SSD

A 500GB SSD isn't the best option for an budget build. Get a smaller SSD, you can always add more storage in the future. But you can't just upgrade your GPU in the future without selling the old one. If you need mass storage right now, reuse an old hard drive or buy a new one. And what 430W PSU are you talking about?
