Which Ryzen 3?
Get faster memory. 3000MHz+ AMDs new CPUs really benefit from faster memory with faster frequency.
Get a decent quality power supply.
Get an SSD for the OS.

Faster RAM isn't as necessary with Intel, but still helps.
Get a decent quality power supply.
Get an SSD for the OS.

Get faster RAM.
Get a decent quality PSU.
If within budget, get a 250GB SSD instead. 120GB fills up with OS/programs way too quick these days.


What is your budget? What country are you buying in? What games are you hoping to play on it? What resolution & Refresh rate?
Those systems look like they're pre-built systems. Are you buying the parts and assembling it yourself or are you buying it pre-built?

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

definitely not the 2400g, bad value CPU and gets smoked by the 1050ti. Extra CPU performance and overclockability won't offset that.

 

At this point it seems like the i3-8100 is the best build. Not the motherboard I'd pick, as the lack of VRM heatsinks will inhibit the i7 8700's performance (assuming you plan on upgrading the CPU to that in the future).

 

And please stop using unproven (and 99% badly made) power supplies. 

tier 3 or above. 450w will do.

Went with German Pc Parts Picker. Got really close to 550 at ~4 over for same storage quantity. Snagged Ryzen 3 1200 as it is lower cost there than i3-8100, snagged 3000 mhz ram and went with a relatively good PSU as far as forum list says, and a 1050 Ti as in EU seems to be price performance winner for that performance level.
