Budget Build

[Mgtakiller]

Would you recommend me to build a Ryzen 3 1200 PC or a Pentium G4560 PC?

My budget is quite low, around 470USD.

I already have a pretty decent graphics card (Radeon 7770) and I have already selected the parts needed for both of the builds. Here they are:

Pentium build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/msnFRG

Ryzen build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qj3MzM

 

The Pentium build in my country would cost around $470 and the Ryzen build would cost me around $425

PS: I live in Uruguay, South America, that's why it's more expensive than what you'd get in the USA or Canada.

 

Thanks for you advice!

Ryzen 3 is a better processor than the Pentium, so it would make no sense to pay more for Pentium.

ryzen, you want faster ram though, 3000 mhz if you can, but at least 2666

I think you might be right, but you should consider that in the Pentium build, I'd have a 16GB Optane and in the Ryzen build, I'd just have the mechanical drive.

you could bring the ryzen build cost inline with the intel one and buy a 120gb ssd to boot off of

I already have the graphics card, I can get a refurbished 2TB HDD for the price of a brand new 1TB HDD, and the PSU is pretty much the same. 

I might go for the 2666mhz ram though.

Anyways, thanks for you time.

I might buy an SSD in the future bc right now, I can't afford one

16gb ram?  while this is true, it won't make a big difference on a budget build.  for rendering movies, i'd still take the ryzen with the 8gb over the pentium.  but for gaming, 99% of games won't benefit from 16gb

It does not say 16gb of ram, It says Intel Optane 16GB. If you don't know what Optane is, I'm pretty sure Techquickie has a video explaining it.

oh.  well in that case 16gb of optane is not significant enough to pay 50 dollars more for a worse processor

I guess you're right.
