Hello,
i have plan to upgrade my system. I want build PC Gaming ONLY with Reso 1080p.
right now i want build new system. for GPU i want purchase Vega 56/64 or Nvidia 1070/1080 Level

My recomendation
1. Ryzen 2200G + ASRock AB350 Pro 4
2. Intel i3-8100 + ASRock H310
3. Ryzen 2400G + ASRock AB350 Pro 4
4. Intel i3-8400 + ASRock H310

my question.
1. Which one that has best Price Performance for 1080p gaming?
2. For 2200G its has BIG difference performance with i3 8100/2400G/i5 8400? 1080p Gaming with ega 56/64 or Nvidia 1070/1080 Level
3. Its Really worthed to purchase 2400G even i5 8400 with that difference ?

PS: I want to spend my money wisely; I don't want to blow money to the point of insignificant performance gains for current gen gaming and for the future

For Gaming Only, you would be better off with the i5 8400 with great single core performance which benefits games and later you can upgrade to an i7 8700. But as you want to spend your money wisely and you want performance for the future as well, I would go for the third option, the Ryzen 5 2400G. AMD has promised support for AM4 up till 2020 while Intel launches a new chipset with a new generation for which you have to either flash the BIOS or upgrade the Mobo, and maybe even Intel changes the socket (but i doubt that willl happen.)

You can also use the in built Graphics of the 2400G for a little while because GPU Prices are coming down and you can save some money over there by waiting for prices to come down further and get a GPU for...

Later, the upgrade to Ryzen 2nd gen is also available.

As for the GPU, Get a 1070Ti/1080. Great performance right now for 1080p 144Hz and also, will last for a while.

All Ryzen chips can be overclocked and have a pretty decent stock cooler so that is a plus point above intel. Free performance :) Also if you spend like $30 into a Cryorig H7 then you can achieve even better overclocks on the chip.
