Buy Ryzen APU, wait for GTX 2000

[EJC928]

I have been planning to build a gaming PC for so long until the GTX 10 series prices skyrocketed. I heard of the Ryzen APU that can play new games and began researching. Is buying a Ryzen APU and waiting for the GTX 2000 series worth it?

Depends on what you play, what settings you can tolerate, and how long you are willing to wait.
Honestly, a solid processor + a cheap GPU would probably be better overall, so you have the processing power later on when you need it.

ryzen apu's are only good for 720p gaming

a i3 with a gt 1030 would beat it handily


you want nothing to do with an apu if you want a higher end gpu anyways because of how weak the cpu part is as well

R5 2400g is good cpu/apu and i would buy it if im on budget.First you get good cpu and when gpu prices goes down u can buy new gpu and dont worry about cpu performance(u can go with 1060 someday and play eveything on high/very high).Oh and yea, people manage to oc gpu to 1500 mhz which is way better than i3 8100 and gt 1030.Here is a video how it runs bf1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZwrbUp_q7A

nope to both

the i3 8100 is so much better no matter how high you overclock the apu it will never be comparable


the same goes for the 1030
