Which Ryzen?

[TheMastr13]

Hey y'all,

I just ordered all the parts for my new PC yesterday, including a Ryzen 3 2200g and a GTX 1060 3gb (the prime day deal). Looking back now, i'm questioning my decision on the CPU.

What do y'all think? Should I return my CPU when I get it and get a Ryzen 5 for $50 more? Or should I just stick with what I have?

Thanks for your input

i wouldn't get a APU and a GPU, maybe a risen 1500x or a 1300x. 1300x will be faster as it has no onboard graphics.

What motherboard did you choose? Just curious.

I would absolutely take any Ryzen 5 over a 2200G, especially since you have a GTX 1060 already.

Gigabyte AB350M-DS3H, another prime day deal. Sorry I don't have a PC Part Picker link, just haven't gotten around to it.

I was looking at the 1600, but I wasn't sure if 6 cores is necessary. What do y'all think the best match for the 1060 3gb is, keeping a low price in mind?

you can drop a R5 1600 in that thing it will be much better and it's on sale for 149$ right now which is a screaming deal for that six-core so personally i would return the R3 if at all possible for sure...

I have an i5-8600K with 6 cores, it's hella useful. You'll enjoy 6 cores, trust me.

The R3 is enough for your GPU ...FOR NOW...but in the future you'll hate yourself if you don't do it...you will upgrade your graphics card down the road...and you'll need a better CPU soon anyways...many games take advantage and run much smoother with a CPU that has more cores already.

 

Battlefield 5 which is coming soon for example will run like dog shit on the 2200g especially multiplayer...the R5 1600 will handle it like it's nothing.

General consensus is the R5 1600. Thanks for the input!
