G4560 Or Ryzen 3 1200 for gaming?

Just like the title says...Ryzen 3 or Intel G4560 for gaming?

I saw a jayz2cents vid saying that team blue is better...but a couple cpu comparing websites state otherwise...so I just want to be sure...will be paired with a 1050ti and 8gb of ram

it depends on the games, most do better on the pentium but for multitasking I would go with the R3, it solely depends on what you plan to do with the pc

RYzen 3 gives you a much, much better upgrade path and overclocking when paired with a B350 board. The Pentium will have a better IPC though, and may perform slightly better at stock. It's also a little bit cheaper, unless you get a Z series board so you can upgrade to an overclockable CPU down the road, then it's really expensive.

intel chips oc well and also has a good upgrade path, an i7 still beats ryzen 7 for gaming

When overclocked to 4Ghz, the Ryzen can push ahead of the G4560, but honestly there's no massive difference. As people have already mentioned, Ryzen offers a great upgrade path as if you buy a B350 board you can overclock. Then later on you can just put in an R5 1600 or R7 1700 and have a great boost in performance. Z270 boards on the intel side tend to be a little more expensive and are required for overclocking.

A pentium does not overclock. A Ryzen 3 does. Overclockable Ryzen mobs (B350/X370 chipset) are generally much cheaper, and the AM4 platform is still supported, whereas Intel is moving away from LGA1151, or at least current chipsets, with X299 and the new Coffee Lake CPUs. 

 

And there's always a good old LGA1366 Xeon...

1200 is more future-proof, because it offers an upgrade path all the way to an 8-core 16-thread on the AM4 platform. B250 is essentially dead, new CPUs are not coming out for it, and the most amount of cores available on that platform is 4. You're much better off going with Ryzen in any scenario at this point, pretty much none of Intel's CPUs are worth considering except the g4560 at $60. IMO it isn't worth it at its $80 price currently.

If you plan on overclocking, I would definitely go with the 1300X as it normally overclocks a lot higher and costs only 20 bucks more.

yes and just because htere is going to be a newer even better intel plattform doesnt mean its suddenly more worth it to stay on ryzen plattform when the intel i7 even for kabylake will still beat any AMD cpu in gaming

Yeah. But monies. The AMD route is much cheaper. Or you just find a good deal on a decent X58 board and then get a 6-core Xeon and OC it.

you'll be GPU bottlenecked with the 1050ti, but upgrading it in the future and the 1200 will perform much better.
