No, for a budget setup go with the Ryzen 3 2200G, B350 Motherboard and 2x4gb of 2666+ DDR4. Use the iGPU to game temporarily unless you have the funds currently to get the GTX 1050 ti.

Get the Short Term Processor Loan "Boot Kit" to update the BIOS on the B350 motherboard to use that 2200G.

Hey Wildcard, you answered one of my questions a long time ago. But anyways, I agree with the other guy. The new Ryzen apus are the way to go for budget gaming right now.
