1. Do you know what screen tearing looks like? 2. Is V sync/Gsync on? 3. I said can cause its different for everyone, i dont know about you but i would rather be safe 

Yes I do, I experience it other games if I drop below about 80FPS. No I turn of vsync and I don't have a G-sync monitor. Yes I understand your concern and it is very system and setting dependant.

8400 is better im not denying it but he can save way more going with the APU and getting extremely similar fps and a higher storage SSD or a m.2 and HDD if he wanted to.

If OP would like to Ryzen, then waiting another 3 days would be a better option for Zen 2 to come out. The slight performance deficit Ryzen has to intel in CPU bound games will be closed further.

I agree with waiting otherwise a APU is a very good option

The APU is a bit redundant if he is getting a GPU, so Zen 2 is more likely the way to go. Unless the lower tier ryzen cpus are desired, such as the 1500x etc, then the apu fills that gap i guess?
