Is a ryzen 3 2200g enough for gaming AAA title in 2018?

If you intend to buy a dedicated GPU later on, I'd go with the 2400G for the extra threads.

So reacently I decided to build a budget gaming pc for my self. But I could not decide weather I should buy the ryzen 3 2200g or the ryzen 5 2400g. I’v been More leaning towards the 2200g, but will it hurt my gaming proformence down the line even if I do get a graphics card because it has 4 core/4 threads? Because it would definitely be nice if I did not have to spend that $70 extra on the 2400g & still get good performance in the future.

Not really, mainly meant for esports titles, its performance is less than the gtx 750 ti. The 2400g isn't much better ether. if you had to choose between the two, pick the 2200g just for gaming because the apu isn't that much slower than the 2400g. SMT won't help much if u get a new gpu down the line. Best value is definitely 2200g.

I'd go for the 2400G honestly. You won't regret it. It's basically an i7-3770K with a gtx 750 Ti strapped to it. Really good value.

For AAA gaming? Not really, unless you are happy with 720P resolution. You can forget 1080P gaming on most AAA titles, it will be under 30fps too much.

 

You are right that 4C/4T would be limiting future performance when upgrading to a GPU. The 2400G would be better in this regard:

It can kinda sorta do it. 720p low-medium settings is what you should expect. It won't run AAA games form 2019 holiday season at all I reckon though.
