I am getting into Pc gaming and looking at the best budget components, but I have a question should I get a thx 1050 with a intel pentium processor or should I get a AMD ryzen 3 2200?
 
Solution
It depends on what resolution you intend to game at. If you plan to game at only 1080P, then I recommend you get the AMD Ryzen 2200G now and then upgrade with a dedicated graphics card later once inflated prices caused by the Bitcoin surge come back down.

If you post your budget (including any parts you are trying to reuse) and country we can suggest a build for you. Howver with prices they are now it maybe better to start with a prebuild with a gpu already included due to mining.
 

I have the build almost all figured out, and its actually pretty cheap, can you "review" it and give me some advice?
Seagate Barracuda 1T
Crucial - Memoria RAM de 8 GB (DDR4, 2400 MHz, PC4-19200, single rank, DIMM 288 pin)
MSI Computer H110M ECO Motherboard
EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W
Ryzen 3 2200
From Amazon Spain(I live in Portugal) it all costs around 325 euros
 
One thing, if you are buying a Ryzen APU intending to use the graphics for awhile, get the fastest ram you can, up to 3200 if possible. I've seen benchmarks and you do lose APU performance with slower ram. This isn't a consideration when you pair it with a videocard, but it does impact the APU graphics performance. Also, it should be dual channel, such as two sticks of 4gb, not one stick of 8gb.
