I'd say look into the ryzen 5 2400g on a mitx board, and plop that in a node 202 or similar.

[BubblyCharizard]

something like a i3 8100 or r3 2200g with a 1050ti would be good value for light 1080p gaming

 

until intel releases b360, i'd go ryzen

[Jertt]

Because even if I run ddr4 to save cash I’ll swap my 16gb when using the mini 

[Jertt]

I mainly will play runescape and a lil pubg on low settings

[BubblyCharizard]

2400g won't get you 60fps, but should get you a playable 35-50ish

 

maybe grab a 1050ti

 

if you can get a Pentium G4560 and a b250 board for cheap, then that would be decent value (plus you "could" put in the 7700k when you next upgrade the main rig for better performance)

 

otherwise go ryzen

[Jertt]

Your saying  just 2400g main using on board graphic card yea I’m in process buying a pny 1050ti for 100bucks right now

then go with whichever low end cpu is cheapest with board, intel will take more advantage of the 1050ti, but ryzen has a better upgrade path

[PineyCreek]

I'd still wait a couple of BIOS revisions or until other people report on it and say the BIOS is mature.

[whoisit1118]

I am not sure if you want a laptop, but if you want to go for a laptop, you can get a laptop with 6300hq and gtx 1050 for $600.

For example: https://www.ebay.com/p/Dell-Inspiron-15-6-Intel-I5-7300hq-8gb-1tb-Gaming-Laptop-NVIDIA-GTX-1050/2142425822?iid=332408190065&afepn=5337259887&rmvSB=true 

at 569.99.

This would have superior gaming performance and mobility compared to your desktop option using the new Ryzen APU.

Just beware, if you are buying the 1050ti from someone who you don't know for $100, it is more than likely a scam.
